That stock News

Depends. If you want the past 10 years, you can see those prices easily. here on Yahoo! finance for example. any online trading station will let you look at a 10-year price chart. my trading station is Fidelity Active Trader Pro, but that's restricted.

If you want price data from before the Internet existed, that's very hard to come by. Your brokerage firm may help, but that's doubtful.

Nothing is free in America. The Stock Exchanges found out there's a demand for past data of prices, so they took advantage of that to make profit.
But….
I did a project that involved getting stocks data online, but I missed collecting the right info (tick data). after some research online and guidance from my professor, I had to call Chicago Board of Exchange to get them. most of them will be generous to you if you were a student, but from my experience, the operator gave me bad attitude, probably because I didn't call as a customer. I've also emailed to another exchange and the guy was soooo nice to me, he emailed me a few times just so I get the exact data I was looking for.
But If you want the info for personal use, you can always purchase that online

You can get this information in Yahoo! Finance.

But to actually find the information it will depend on what you mean by "stock market" prices.

Do you mean for individual stocks? mutual funds? or entire markets or benchmarks such as S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrials, or NASDAQ.

For stock market prices just go do
finance.yahoo.com and choose the stock market prices you want to see. its free and they have all the stocks in main markets in the world.

to give an example if you want the max of FTSE 100 indices you can go to
http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=%5EFT…

you can add any stock prices, you can also see gold, fuel or commodities as well as AIM shares

How do you get stock market prices for past years?
