Dissertations

Domestic dissertations

The University of Helsinki's loanable dissertations can be found on the Rotunda's 4th floor in connection with the open collection's facsimile collection, signum Diss. HY dupl. Dissertations belonging to the same collection, but printed before 1900, are kept in closed stacks, from where they can be ordered for reading room use. Dissertations published during the current year are stored in the General Reading Room's 2nd floor.

Location information concerning other universities' dissertations can be found in the Helka database.

The E-thesis Service publishes the University of Helsinki's electronic dissertations.
