Old New York Stock Exchange 1815 - 1925
The NYSE History Research Project is an on-going research effort by the International Center of Finance to collect price and dividend information on NYSE stocks from the beginning of the exchange to the present, for analysis of long-term trends and performance. The paper "A new historical database for the NYSE 1815 to 1925: Performance and predictability," can be downloaded from the site of the Journal of Financial Markets. A working paper version of it is also from SSRN. The data and the indices we created with it may be downloaded from this site.
