I'm looking for older historical annual reports or annual company financials.
Several sources for finding older annual reports and 10-K financials that aren't available in Mergent Online or other company databases:
- Proquest has pdfs of historical annual reports for 800 companies, some going back to the late 19th century.
- Mergent Archives has basic company financials starting in the late 19th century. Select Corporate Manuals, then Industrial, then year. Search for company. A pdf of the document is available.
- Try the Internet Archive. Search for "company name" annual reports. Columbia University's historic annual reports are available here.
- Pre-1996 SEC filings can be requested from the SEC. Scroll down to "How to Access or Request Records Not Accessible via SEC Website"
- Directory of Corporate Archives from the American Society of Archivists lists corporate archives for the US and Canada.
- Libraries with annual reports collections that may assist for a fee.
