"Historical" Graduation Theses
In 2008 the University started a work of conservation of the historical graduation theses; among them the works of some Italian personalities such as the orientalist Umberto Cassuto, the archeologist Federico Halbherr, the irredentists Giani Stuparich and Scipio Slataper, the poet Mario Luzi, the actor Paolo Poli and Sandro Pertini, partisan and future President of the Italian Republic.
The historical catalogue includes the theses from the Philosophy and Philology sections of the Regio Istituto di studi superiori, pratici e di perfezionamento, founded in 1859. Since 1924 also the graduation theses of the Faculties of Humanities, Law and Political Sciences are included.
The cataloguing of historical theses in Medicine, Chemistry and other faculties is currently in progress.
