How can I find a stock price from 1990?
My Mom had a house fire that destroyed her records. How can I find historical records of stock prices without having to pay a broker an arm and a leg? I enjoy research. I just don't know where to start.
Additional Details
As suggested I tried Yahoo Finance but I have been unable to find any listings for Scientific Atlanta Inc (I did learn they were taken over by Cisco)anywhere. They recalled and paid Mom for all of her stock in 2006. A monster tax bite if we can't get the actual cost basis. Mom and Dad purchased Scientific Atlanta Inc on 4/8/82. Dad passed away on 7/31/1990 so I need the quote for date of death also. mom purchased additional shares on 3/27/00, 10/15/91, 12/2/92, and 9/8/94. Luckily I put some information in my computer but I don't have cost information. If you find the information please tell me how because I can't find anything. I need to learn how and where to find the information - Mom is 90 and has lots of stock that is very old. Thanks everyone.

Hey - I gave an updated answer to your question.

Here's where your stock price is for SA
actually, this is the direct link:
http://www.scientificatlanta.com/investo...

How I found this: I Googled "Scientific Atlanta historical stock prices" and came up with this.

As others have said, there are online sources, such as finance.yahoo.com that you can use. Just be careful as to whether you need split-adjusted prices or not. By default, most sources will be split-adjusted.

Also, if you list the stock, folks here will look it up for you, I am sure.

Good luck, and sorry to hear about the house!

I'd normally answer Yahoo!Finance as I've found it very useful for most quotes for companies that were still under the same name at the time you were looking, but you have a different issue.

For your prices, just go to the local library and look at back issues of the newspaper. Ideally you'd look in the Wall St journal the day after the dates you're looking for, however, most newspapers carried stock quotes as well. You might also get lucky just calling the reference librarian who might look the price up for you too. ;-) (but as you said, you enjoy research, so you should probably do it yourself) Just check to see how far back the library you're visiting has microfiche.

I remember Scientific Atlanta as that was a stock I traded many, many years ago. (Thanks for the memories).

Hope that helps!
