In 2004, The American Finance Association Board approved a project to record aspects of the History of Finance. Stephen Buser was appointed Historian with the mission to produce video interviews with important contributors to financial economic knowledge. Links to streaming videos of edited versions of interviews with Harry Markowitz, William Sharpe, Paul Samuelson, Robert Merton, Myron Scholes, Jack Treynor, Kenneth Arrow, Eugene Fama and Fred Weston are posted below. Transcripts of the full texts of these interviews are also available below.  Additional interviews with other seminal scholars in the field are planned.The AFA thanks Dimensional Fund Advisors for their generous support of this project

Recently, the AFA began providing support for the taping of a series of lectures on the History of Financial Thought. These lectures were hosted by the Fisher College of Business at the Ohio State University and include lectures by  Perry Mehrling on Fischer Black, Stewart Myers on Corporate Finance in the 1970's, Maureen O'Hara on Market Microstructure and Mark Rubinstein on Great Moments in Financial Economics: The Hidden History.
