We continue the proud tradition, started by former St. Louis Fed Research Director Homer Jones in 1958, by offering digital access to historical policy documents and data to scholars, economists, analysts, students, and interested observers of the U.S. economy. As part of this mission, FRASER staff occasionally add digital material to FRASER from other sources such as the Internet Archive and the American Memory program of the Library of Congress to provide further context for materials digitized for FRASER.
- Al-fred - Archived; Federal Reserve Economic DataALFRED® allows you to retrieve vintage versions of economic data that were available on specific dates in history. In general, economic data for past observation periods are revised as more accurate estimates become available. As a result, previous vintages of data can be superseded and may no longer be available from various data sources. Vintage or real time economic data allows academics to reproduce others' research, build more accurate forecasting models, and analyze economic policy decisions using the data available at the time.
