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 for future students, prospective students, and researchers in the wider academic community

Copies of some senior theses are available in digital form while others are only in paper. Not all theses are available for all departments for all years.

Contribute Your Thesis to the Senior Thesis Archive

The digital Archive depends on students to submit their theses voluntarily. In addition to the thesis, students are also asked to provide an abstract. Electronic theses are made available to the wider scholarly community through the Open Archives Initiative.

Many academic departments send paper copies to the Library for the Archive. If their academic departments do not contribute to the Archive, students may contribute their own work as individuals. If you are a former student whose thesis is not listed in the online catalog, please consider sending a copy to the Library.

For further information on how to contribute your thesis, see the submission instructions.
