The Federal Reserve records and publishes large amounts of data. A few websites where data is published are at the Board of Governors Economic Data and Research page 1, the Board of Governors statistical releases and historical data page 2, and at the St. Louis Fed's FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) page 3.
