A History of the Federal Reserve
Volume 1: 1913-1951

The purpose of this website is to provide access to source materials cited by the author, Dr. Allan H. Meltzer, in A History of the Federal Reserve, Volume 1: 1913-1951. This site includes previously unpublished materials in the form of hearings and memoranda, as well as journal articles, Congressional hearings, working papers, and books no longer under copyright.

At this time, some larger collections of unpublished materials are not included. (We are still working with the holders of the materials to obtain permission to reprint them here.) Where we have not been able to reproduce a referenced text, we have tried to provide links to the material in licensed databases, such as JSTOR, or other appropriate Internet resources, such as "Find in a Library"

By selecting Advanced Footnote Search, you will search the database based on the entry of citations and footnotes in The University of Chicago Press 2003 hardcover edition of "The History of the Federal Reserve: Volume 1".

Enter a chapter number and you will retrieve a list of all citation and footnotes in that chapter. To retrieve a citation on an exact page, enter the page number. To retrieve a reference in a specific footnote, enter both the Chapter and footnote numbers. NOTE: In each chapter, footnote enumeration begins with the number 1. You will need to use a chapter number in conjunction with the footnote number for precise retrieval.
