The Theses Alive! project has now come to an end, so there will be no further
major updates to this site. It will, nonetheless, be maintained until such
time as all materials here have found good homes on other public web servers, and
even after then it will remain for some time.
The legacy of Theses Alive! is the Edinburgh Research Archive which is now
a fully fledged Edinburgh Univeristy Library service that will continue to
be maintained and developed in the vein that Theses Alive! started.
The final and completion reports for this project are available in our
site archive. Direct links to PDF versions
of these files are here: Final Report,
Completion Report
A large body of research material is produced every year in the
Graduate Schools of the UK's major research universities, but it remains largely
invisible because of the dominance of the print and microform formats for thesis
literature.
Some leading US universities have developed software to handle
ETDs (Electronic Theses & Dissertations). This software can be adapted for use
in the UK, and a partnership between university Graduate Schools, Libraries
and IT Services will lead to a thesis literature - fully authorised and digitally
preserved - becoming available online.
