The Historical Dissertations and Theses collection provides digital access and preservation of the full text of more than 7,700 dissertations and theses submitted by LSU graduate students between 1916 and 2001. As this project is a work in progress, some gaps in years exist. Individual works not present but in the LSU Libraries’ collection may be digitized upon request. For any questions, please contact the Institutional Repository Librarian at ir@lsu.edu.
While presented for scholarly and research purposes, the works in this collection may not be re-purposed or exploited for commercial gain without permission of the authors.
