The Federal Reserve Archival System for Economic Research (FRASER) team of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis is the 2024 recipient of the Distinguished Service Award given by the Society of American Archivists (SAA). The award recognizes an archives institution, education program, nonprofit organization, or Government organization that has given outstanding service to its public and has made an exemplary contribution to the archives profession.

FRASER is a historical digital library made available by the Federal Reserve Digital History and Archives team at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

For more than twenty years, the FRASER team has worked to provide a holistic view of the history of the U.S. economy and financial system by building a free digital repository and providing superior reference and outreach services.

FRASER has been a Digital Access Partner since 2005, and the collection is included in the GovInfo Browse by A to Z list. GPO catalogs content in FRASER that is in scope of the FDLP; using the CGP search wcat=FRASER, the most recent count is 2,165 records.
