Dear alligator12-ga;
One of the reasons why historic industry reports are so hard to find
is because they are always known as Current Industrial Reports
(CIR) regardless of when they were published. That is to says that if
you are looking for CIRs 1994, youd have better luck searching using
these keywords/key-phrases. The inclusion of quotation marks in your
search tells the search engine to retrieve this exact phrase, along
with this date; like this:
CURRENT INDUSTRIAL REPORTS 1994
-or-
CURRENT INDUSTRY REPORTS 1994
Trying to search for these as you would, say, historic tick data or
historic market reports will lead you on a wild goose chase, since
they are always considered current, relative to the year that they
represent. In some instances, these reports are also referred to as a
series. For example, one might be Industry Series: Steel 1994. So,
searching with the keywords/key-phrases INDUSTRY SERIES STEEL 1994
then, might return links to reports from 1994 related to Blast
Furnaces, Steel Works, Rolling and Finishing Mills, Metal Works, and
the like.
