FDU Databases with OA Resources

FDU Libraries Digital Archives

The FDU Libraries Digital Archives features a growing collection of digital objects developed to preserve and support scholarship and the research, teaching, and learning mission of the University. Today, the digital library at FDU consists of unique items from the university’s archives, and from distinctive collections developed in collaboration with non-library partners, related to both the history of Northern New Jersey and the University. Materials include historical documents, digital artifacts, photographs, and maps.

Within the FDU Libraries Digital Archives are hundreds of theses and dissertations produced by FDU students.
