HTI Dissertation Series Collection
*Inaugurated in 2002, this collection, housed at Princeton Theological Seminary’s Library, has provided scholars across the nation with access to an array of dissertations written by our gifted HTI scholars, as well as by other scholars who have chosen topics that deal with Latine issues. For patrons off campus, the online catalog can be accessed online (https://catalog.ptsem.edu), where the list of dissertations can be searched under the title “HTI” or “HTI dissertation collection.” Interlibrary loans are possible through OCLC at local libraries, and the material is available for a four-week loan period with in-library use only.
