THESES ARCHIVE

EKO HAITI aims to be the best possible resource for finding open access graduate theses and dissertations published around the world about Haiti.

We understand that theses and dissertations are an often overlooked source of information for research and know by experience that they can be truly valuable.

Just like journal articles, conference proceedings, and other forms of literature, they present original research. Recently completed theses can provide “sneak previews” of ideas and findings that have yet to reach the public via other publication formats.
