 Our University
Archives preserves the official copies of Tulane's
senior
honors theses, master's theses, and
doctoral
dissertations.
A department of the Tulane Libraries Special
Collections Division, the Tulane University Archives is located on
the second floor of Jones
Hall.
| How do you
find a thesis or dissertation? |
All Tulane theses and dissertations are cataloged. Therefore, you may
search for them in the library's online cataloging system, Tulanet Voyager.
Important!!
A
digital library of most Tulane Ph. D. dissertations since 1956
is available online.
Many can be downloaded into your personal computer. |
|
For example, to find a recent thesis or dissertation in a specific
field, do the following:
- In "Library
Catalog," select the "KEYWORD" search option.
- Enter the following:Tulane thesis M.A. department name
This will give you all cataloged
Tulane Arts and Humanities Masters theses that were accepted by the Tulane academic department you specified.
For Science Masters theses, use
“M.S.”, and for Honors theses, use “B.A.” or “B.S” in your
search term.
| Once you
have found a record for a thesis or dissertation, how do you
request to see it? |
To request a thesis or
dissertation, please fill out a request slip at the front desk
in room 202 with the following information:
- TYPE:
honor's thesis, master's thesis, or dissertation
- YEAR: year
it was accepted by Tulane University
- AUTHOR
- VOLUME NUMBER:
for older master's theses only
|
For most theses and dissertations, the only available copy
is the preservation copy stored in the University Archives. Preservation
copies may not be checked out. You may use them only in the Special
Collections reading room on the second floor of Jones Hall.
| Please
note the following special conditions regarding your use of
preservation copies in the University Archives: |
- Not all Tulane theses and dissertations are available, because
not
all Tulane schools and colleges deposit their theses and
dissertations in the University Archives. For example, the
University Archives preserves few theses or dissertations from the
School of Engineering. It preserves only an incomplete set from the
schools of Public Health and Social Work.
- Sometimes recent theses and dissertations are unavailable
because they are being bound and cataloged.
- While you are welcome to read and take notes from Tulane theses
and dissertations, you may not photocopy from Tulane theses and
dissertations without the written permission of the author. However,
copies of dissertations are available to purchase through ProQuest
Dissertation Express and
many can be downloaded into your own computer (ProQuest
Digital Dissertations) if you are a member of the Tulane
community.
