Pacific University Dissertations and Theses Collection
Scope and Contents
This collection includes print copies of Pacific University dissertations and theses, created by students who were in graduate-level programs between about 1940-2010. These dissertations and theses were digitized in 2012-2013 and are available electronically. Individual records for each digitized thesis and dissertation are located in the Pacific University Library catalog. The original print versions in this collection are being kept as archival copies. During the digitization process, the print copies were disbound and placed into boxes.
