Thanks for the theses list. I do interlibrary loan and getting a thesis loan from another library is about a 10%-25% success rate at best.
Dissertation Abstracts International is the best source to actually purchase a copy, but there are many theses that simply aren't available, especially anything older than ten years. And they aren't cheap. I purchased a bound two volume thesis about 25+ years ago I badly needed for a paper and it was $30 then. No, it wasn't historic costume related, but I still have it(Like this cost me a whole $30 and I had to eat peanut butter sandwiches for lunch for a month to make up the cost of it and the rest of my interlibrary loans for the stupid paper which I did snag an A for anyway!).

After several years of trying to interlibrary loan British theses and dissertations from every library in the state (universities and my local), I have given up and started to selectively purchase them (usually not TOO expensive as microform.. except those from Cambridge...). Has anyone seen these and can comment on them? Thanks, Beth Matney Scott, Margaret Cochrane.: Dress in Scotland 1406-1460.. University of London, 1987..
