We also hold print copies of selected DHT & FACS critical journals and curatorial rationales. These can be requested as described above.

PhD Theses

Print copies of PhD theses awarded by Glasgow School of Art from 1980 onwards are held in our Special Collections and must be requested in advance here. Digital versions are often also available through RADAR, the School’s institutional repository, depending on permissions and copyright. You may also be able to access or order a digital copy of one of our theses via the British Library’s EThOS service, again depending on copyright and permissions.

A number of our PhD theses are practice-based. These can be viewed online, or requested in print, as described above.
