How to submit your thesis

Seven steps to deposit your thesis in the HIC Digital Archives, from creating an account to review.

Before you start

Have these ready so you can finish the form in one sitting:

  • The final copy of your thesis as a single PDF file, no larger than 10 MB.
  • Your thesis title, author, abstract, date published and course, ready to type or paste.
  • An email address you can open, to verify your account.

  1. Step 1: Create an account

    Open the sign-up page and enter your full name, your email and a password of at least 8 characters with a lowercase letter, an uppercase letter, a number and a special character. Agree to the Digital Archives Policy and select “Create account”, then open the verification link sent to your email. If you already have an account, skip to step 2.
