The Internet Archive takes over foreign dissertations from UBL

Published on 08 October 2024

Last month, the UBL announced that it will deselect an extensive
collection of foreign dissertations. We are happy to report now that
The Internet Archive will be taking over this collection.

The dissertations were originally part of an exchange programme
between (mostly European) universities until the year 2004 but were
never catalogued on arrival. As Leiden University Libraries has
limited space for growth in its stacks, it decided to deselect these
dissertations, so that 3.2 km could be freed up for new acquisitions.
The universities where these dissertations originally were defended
informed UBL that they still have the dissertations and were not
interested in receiving back the Leiden copy. The Internet Archive
will now take over this collection from the UBL, and will take care
of its future preservation and access. The UBL is pleased that The
Internet Archive is able to give this collection of foreign
dissertations a second life.
