The focus is specifically on the United States – though many of these sources do cover international deals. As for sources for SEC filings, I have only included a few that are more well known both paid and free. Also, there is much information on mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures that I have not included.

For a variety of reasons, many of the sources will not necessarily have all of the information on a deal that is desired.
Part of the Science & Business Reading Room at the Library of Congress, the Business Section is the starting point for conducting research at the Library of Congress in the subject areas of business and economics.
