As members of such a large (and busy) University, it can be easy to forget one of McGill’s main purposes as an institution: scholarship. With over 48,000 thesis and dissertations<\/a>, a fantastic way to look back on the rich history of our University’s academic excellence is through e-scholarship; the complete archival data basis of McGill thesis and dissertations, spanning from 1833<\/a> to present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to celebrate another year of scholars completing their studies at McGill, the Humanities and Social Sciences Library created a virtual book display<\/a> featuring a few thesis published this past year. These are especially impressive, as some are from scholars whose works were successful even in unprecedented times.\u00a0Access this display to see some of the fantastic thesis here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

E-scholarship is an excellent\u2013 and underutilized \u2013 resource. Created in 2005 in order to increase accessibility to the thesis archives, the e-scholarship institutional repository ensures that research produced at McGill is visible, free, accessible, disseminated, and preserved for future interests – all while maintaining researchers copyright. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My favorite part about e-scholarship – beyond the fact that it’s open access of course – is the history” Jessica Lange, e-scholarship librarian added, “you can delight in interesting gems [in the archives]. McGill research is really imbedded in the history of Montreal. You might find stories or projects that tell you more about the history of this city than you were expecting; stories you can’t find other places.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the benefits of this free history is the quantity of famous or successful works in the collection. To view some of the more well-known alum on record, such as Harriet Brooks, Vaira V\u012b\u0137e-Freiberga, and  John O’Keefe , visit the Highlights from McGill theses and dissertations<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
