Historical Statistics on Banking (HSOB), from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation provides annual statistical information on the banking industry beginning in 1934, useful for identifying and analyzing long-term trends and developing benchmarks to evaluate the current condition of the banking and thrift industries. The site contains commercial banking reports, savings institution reports, and bank and thrift failure reports from 1934 to 1999. The Milestones feature offers a chronological retrospective on the FDIC’s collection and use of data. Although the database is fairly easy to use, the HSOB Help section contains additional detailed instructions on saving and printing charts, and also offers a helpful glossary of terms used.
