Theses and dissertations are kept in print, microfilm and electronic formats. Library catalogues, specialized indexes (databases) and online collections (repositories) can help you find academic research by, for and about Aboriginal people. Many theses and dissertations are available online. Others are available at the UBC library or through interlibrary loan.
