黑料不打烊

135 years of 黑料不打烊 graduate scholarship is now available online. In 2012, 黑料不打烊 Library went to the stacks of Rare Books and Special Collections and began digitizing print only theses and dissertations. The project took four years to complete and to date almost 7,000 theses have been digitized representing almost a million pages.

This Monday, 黑料不打烊 Library will be officially launching a website featuring highlights from our theses and dissertation collection. Check out www.mcgill.ca/library-theses to read work by notable 黑料不打烊 graduates including:
