Although information regarding the Direct Registration System and individual publicly traded stock is all available, it is scattered and can be hard to search. Companies exist which collate and organize all of the data, but they often can charge for access or have limits on sharing and use.

​

The WhyDRS Database is freely available and open source, populated using volunteer submissions, volunteer review, and public data. Unfortunately, this can mean at times that we don't always have the most up to date information. 

If you have an idea for how to improve data collection, please reach out!

This Data has been gathered in one place to make it easy for any investor to get direct access to static information about their investments. This Lemmy post goes into detail about the Database structure, goals, and development in addition to information on contributing, and database information and functionality is developed in our Database Repository on Github.

You can view the raw data, volunteer missing information to be added to the database, or search for the entity you are interested at our main page at database.whydrs.org.

All data available is free for use and access.
