R.G. Dun & Co. / Dun & Bradstreet Collections
Founded in 1841 by Lewis Tappan, the Mercantile Agency-later known as R.G. Dun & Company-was the first successful commercial reporting agency in America. The company pioneered the new industry of credit reporting, an important tool in the development of American commerce during the 19th century. Dun & Bradstreet resulted from the 1933 merger of R. G. Dun & Company and its chief competitor, J. M. Bradstreet & Company. It continued to be an innovator in business information through the 20th century and beyond.
Baker Library holds two separate collections relating to these companies that provide contextual information about the development of credit reporting in the United States. The first, the R. G. Dun & Company Credit Report Volumes, consists of 2,580 volumes of handwritten credit reports collected by the company from 1841 to the early 1890s. The second collection, the Dun & Bradstreet Corporation Records, details the growth of the company and its predecessors from the 1840s to the late 20th century
