Important notice
We have recently resumed harvesting from university repositories, and we will gradually add new records for theses and dissertations published between 2016 and 2020 over the coming months.
Theses Canada, launched in 1965 at the request of the deans of Canadian graduate schools, is a collaborative program between Library and Archives Canada (LAC) and Canadian universities. It strives to:
- acquire and preserve theses and dissertations from participating universities
- provide free access to Canadian digital theses and dissertations in the collection
- facilitate access to non-digital theses and dissertations in the collection
Search the database for theses and dissertations in LAC's collection.
Learn about advanced search options for the Theses Canada database.
Learn how LAC acquires your thesis or dissertation, and find information about licensing and copyright.
Learn about the submission and harvesting requirements for universities.
Order copies of non-digital works from LAC, and find a list of links to Canadian university theses repositories.
