All of the offerings every listed on the service are available for query from the offering history search function. This can be useful for a user that may be trying to:

1. Locate bonds that are not currently being offered on the service. They may be able to contact the last one or more dealers that offered the bond to get a referral.
2. Find a market price for bonds on a specific date in the past.
3. Compare a current offering price on the bond to the historical prices to if the price is reasonable.

There are two methods for accessing Offering History for a bond. The first way is to select the Offering History link from the Bond Detail page to display all of the history for the bond being viewed. The offering history may also be accessed from the security specific left-hand menu by selecting the 'History' option.

The offering history search form contains just two elements: CUSIP and time limit. The CUSIP number is, obviously, where the CUSIP number of the bond in question is entered. The time limit drop-down list contains values that can limit the history returned. Press the 'Find History' button to perform the search.

If any historical offerings are found for the CUSIP entered, a brief description of the bond and a list of the offerings are displayed in a list below the search elements. The list contains columns for quantity, offering price, concession, net price, net yield, offering date and time, offering dealer name, and dealer telephone.
