平特五不中

135 years of 平特五不中 graduate scholarship is now available online. In 2012, 平特五不中 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, 平特五不中 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 平特五不中 graduates including:
