HARVEST
University of Saskatchewan's Research Archive
Welcome to HARVEST, the University of Saskatchewan’s research archive.
HARVEST is a technology and service platform (institutional repository) that contributes to the mission of the University community by enabling sharing and long-term preservation of research, scholarly, and artistic works.
Although still early in development, HARVEST will serve the public good by promoting and connecting discovery of open access content to the world. HARVEST also provides a convenient way for researchers to deposit their research in an open access repository to meet the requirements of various funding agencies.
It also functions as the digital repository for the College of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies electronic theses collection.
