Things to keep in mind.
- Academic policies and requirements have differed throughout the years and departments, therefore the library does not necessarily have all theses produced by GSD students.
- Cataloging standards and practices change over the years. Ask a Design Librarian if you have questions about your search or results.
- Theses do not circulate.Digital theses viewable by Harvard key only.
