About This Archive
Welcome to the UCSB History Thesis Digital Library, an electronic repository of undergraduate honors theses written by History and History of Public Policy & Law majors. This collection brings together as many theses as we have been able to locate and preserve. It documents the intellectual curiosity, archival research, and historical writing of undergraduates across the decades. From early drafts produced on typewriters to recent digital submissions, these works reflect evolving scholarly questions, changing methodologies, and the rich diversity of topics explored by students in history at UC Santa Barbara.
We are continually working to expand and improve this archive. If you have a copy of a thesis that is not yet digitized here, or if you are a former student interested in contributing your work that we are missing, we invite you to get in touch.
