The British Society for the History of Science List of Theses, formerly
produced as a print volume, has now been relaunched as a searchable online
publication. Go to
http://www.bshs.org.uk/theses/
to see the newly-updated version.
The List exists primarily to give details of theses and dissertations
currently in progress, or recently completed, in the history, philosophy
and social studies of science, technology, medicine, mathematics,
engineering and studies of mind, at academic institutions in the UK and
Republic of Ireland. The information collected is as follows: author's
name; title; institution and department; supervisor(s); date of
commencement or completion.
The current version includes material recently supplied by institutions,
along with information on completed theses from the 2002 print
version. Although some earlier theses are included, we have not extended
coverage systematically to the pre-2002 period: offers of assistance in
collecting data are welcome. Future additions to the List will be cumulative.
The List provides information only on completed theses (whose existence is
public knowledge), and on theses in progress where permission has been
obtained from the institutions responsible. To comply with data protection
regulations, and as a matter of policy, BSHS will not publish information
on abandoned or suspended theses except by the authors' own request, or on
theses whose status is uncertain. If you believe an entry should be
removed, please contact us.
