Finding
the price of a stock on a certain date in the past
does not necessarily mean rifling through old
copies of the Wall Street Journal (although we do
keep 10 years worth). The Kirstein Business Branch
provides several more efficient resources for
looking up historical stock prices:
•
Standard
& Poor's Daily Stock Price Record
1962-present (1st fl.)
Provides daily volume, high, low, and closing
prices for NYSE and AMEX stocks from 1962 to
present and for NASDAQ/OTC stocks since 1968.
•
Wall
Street Journal (current year on 1st
fl. & basement; previous years on microfilm on
2nd fl.)
Includes daily closing prices plus a range of
highest and lowest prices for the past 52 weeks.
Kirstein keeps 10 years of daily editions. As of 1/4/2007 the
WSJ will only carry prices for the largest 1500 stocks, and the top 500 mutual funds.
•
Commercial
& Financial Chronicle/Bank & Quotation
Record 1928-87 (2nd fl.
microfilm)
Stock price information can also be found on the internet

the above sources, there are other resources at
Kirstein which do not report daily prices, but can
usually quote a price reasonably close to the date
you are searching for. These sources include:
