OA archives of US economic data

The Research Division of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis has launched FRASER (Federal Reserve Archival System for Economic Research), an open-access archive of documents and data on the U.S. economy. FRASER supplements FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data), the similar archive from the same outfit. (Thanks to ResourceShelf for the link. Kudos to the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank. My only suggestion is a clearer statement of how FRED and FRASER differ and when to search in one and when in the other.)
