Gail Dever has been writing about Canadian university theses as a resource -- My latest genealogical distraction — University theses.
What about British theses?
EThOS, the Electronic Theses Online System allows you to search over 340,000 theses records, freely download the full text of any UK thesis that has been digitised (more than 100,000), and order for downloading (may take some time) any thesis from one of the participating institutions, 131 of them.
