Abstract
The Federal Reserve Archival System for Economic Research (FRASER) started in 2004 as a data preservation and accessibility project of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. FRASER’s mission is to safeguard and provide easy access to economic history—particularly the history of the Federal Reserve System. FRASER consists of an open archive of economic statistical publications and data within an automated system to retrieve both images and data. There are two kinds of documents on FRASER: 1) data publications from U.S. government agencies such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau, and others more specialized, like the Board of Governor’s Statistical Releases; and, 2) historical publications such as archival material from economic policymakers, and special collections: source materials from Allan Meltzer’s A History of the Federal Reserve.
