There is documentation that this series goes back to 1966 but it appears to be in error. There are earlier ED publications of academic library data going back to the 1876 Report but more recently the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) reports appear to be what this documentation refers to. Some of the pre-1988 data appear to be located at ICPSR, see links below at the bottom of the page.
