Researching History: List of Academic Exercises (Honours) - 1970s

By Admin | April 1, 2008

Compiled by Ho Chi Tim

The following is a list of academic exercises completed by honours students graduating from AY (academic year) 1970/1971 to 1979/1980. Aside from showcasing student works which may otherwise go unnoticed, we also hope that such a compilation will aid historical research and stimulate ideas for further study.

This list hopes to continue to collect academic exercises (1) submitted to the Department of History (NUS) for the Honours degree, and (2) concerning Singapore / Malaysia history from other colleges and universities (indicated after title). Titles concerning Singapore and Malaysia are marked with an asterix (*).

The list is not exhaustive and is put together by using information made available online by the Library INtegrated Catalogue (LINC) of NUS Libraries.

Information is correct as at 1 April 2008 - Titles not available from 1970/1 to 1971/2
