The Library of Congress recognizes ProQuest as the only nationally designated digital archive for dissertations. It’s the first time the Library of Congress has entrusted an external site as an official national repository for a key collection. ProQuest also has an exclusive arrangement with the National Library of Canada to provide theses and dissertations from all major Canadian institutions. Dissertations preserved as part of the UMI Dissertation Digital Archiving and Access Program are automatically included in the national repository. [ProQuest Information and Learning :: Press Release]
