To find historical stock prices, you can consult older issues of newspapers. We have the Wall Street Journal online from 1984- present. You can also use either of the following sources to locate, customize a date range, and download historical stock prices:

Mergent Market Atlas database
Thirty years of daily, weekly, and monthly prices. Includes open, high, low, close and volume.  

  • Search for your company and select the relevant company profile. 
  • Click on the Analysis tab. It defaults to the Ratios section. Click on the Price Performance section for historical daily stock pricing.

Yahoo! Finance
Easiest source to use to access historical stock prices for one company; 

  • Enter ticker symbol for desired company
  • Click on the Historical Prices link
  • Daily stock prices available from 1/2/1962 - present
  • Data points: Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume Adjusted Close
  • Click on the Download to Spreadsheet link at the bottom of your returned results to export data into Excel
