FOMC materials
The acquired Federal Reserve text corpus: 4,691 documents from federalreserve.gov, 1936 to 2026. Five document types: FOMC post-meeting statements, meeting minutes together with their predecessor records (historical minutes, executive committee minutes, memoranda of discussion, records of policy actions), verbatim meeting transcripts, Board speeches, and the Beige Book. All of it is US government work in the public domain; every row below links to the Fed’s own copy.
Documents by year and type, 1936–2026
One bar per year, stacked by document type. The 1936–1995 span is minutes-family records only; speeches and the Beige Book enter in 1996 with the Fed’s web archive; the transcript band stops at the embargo line. Counts where a meeting produced both an HTML and a PDF release count each file, because the catalog indexes documents on disk, not meetings.

Each row links to the exact federalreserve.gov URL the file was fetched from, recorded in the fetch manifest at acquisition time. The filename itself encodes the mapping: statement basenames like monetaryYYYYMMDDa.htm live under /newsevents/pressreleases/, minutes like fomcminutesYYYYMMDD.htm under /monetarypolicy/, speeches under /newsevents/speech/, and PDFs under /monetarypolicy/files/. The full basename-to-URL mapping, including the pre-2006 legacy paths, is documented in the methodology.
