30,000 UBC theses – and counting

By Glenn Drexhage on January 26, 2012

In December, William Henry Magee’s 1946 Master of Arts thesis – entitled The growth of Canadian national feeling as reflected in the poetry and novels of English Canada – became the 30,000th item submitted to the UBC Retrospective Theses and Dissertation (RTD) collection in cIRcle, UBC’s digital repository.

The goal of the RTD project is to scan and provide online access to all theses and dissertations written by UBC graduate students from 1919 to 2007, when the University established its Electronic Theses and Dissertation (ETD) program.

When completed in early 2012, the RTD program will include about 32,000 titles and about 5.1 million pages of searchable text. For more on the ETD and RTD programs, please visit cIRcle.
