Senior Thesis Archive
Many Haverford departments include a semester or year-long
course in which seniors develop and conduct an original research
project and write a thesis. The Haverford College Libraries collect,
preserve and provide access to senior theses.
Copies of some senior theses are available in digital
form (mostly PDF) , while others are only in paper. Also not all
theses are available for all departments for all years. Coverage
varies by year and department. Some departments have theses from
as long ago as the 1960s, coverage for other departments begins
in 2003.
Use the searches on the left to find both electronic
and paper theses. The Senior Thesis Archive includes full-text digital
copies (PDF format), while Tripod indexes all theses in the Haverford
College Libraries, paper and electronic, by author, title and department.
The Tripod records include links to the electronic theses.
Contribute Your Thesis to the Senior Thesis Archive
The digital Archive depends on students to submit
their theses voluntarily. In addition to the submission of the thesis,
students are also asked to provide an abstract and a signed permission
form. Electronic theses are made available to the wider scholarly
community through the Open
Archives Initiative.
Please contribute and provide a permanent record of
your college work:
- For future students in the major
- For prospectives considering Haverford
- For people in the wider community interested in
your research
The paper copies in the Archive come from those academic
departments which send their senior theses to the Library for archiving.
If your thesis is not listed in Tripod, please contribute a paper
copy.
