Federal Reserve Centennial





December 2013 will mark the 100-year anniversary of the signing of the Federal Reserve Act, which created the nation's central banking system as it is known today. We invite you to learn more about us, our history, our people, and how the Federal Reserve affects you.





Get Involved

The Federal Reserve System is compiling an inventory of its historical documents and collections. If you have any information about a Federal Reserve collection or document, add it to our inventory.

Meet our Centennial Advisory Council Members

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul A. Volcker and Alan Greenspan are serving as honorary advisors, along with representatives from a range of private and public organizations.
