Columbia University Master's essays, 1891-2020
Summary Information
Abstract
Master's essays can be found in the Columbia University library catalog, CLIO. They usually have a call number that begins with COA. Please keep in mind that paper copies of master's essays for most academic departments ceased being collected by the Libraries on an annual basis in the late 1970s.
Another way to search for older Master's Essay titles and authors is to consult a set of publications printed by the University listing authors alphabetically and arranging essays by department for a particular year. These are available from https://babel.hathitrust.org/
The University Archives paper copies of these publications can be requested (depending on what year you need) via the following three CLIO records:
Master's Essays from 1891 through 1951 (call number COA A)- https://clio.columbia.edu/catalog/1998092
Master's Essays and Doctoral Dissertations from 1951/1952 through 1956/1957 (call number CW4 C724) - https://clio.columbia.edu/catalog/1998118
