Looking for data: DJIA dividend yield 1885 - 2005

[mfeldt]

Hello,

for an evaluation of long-term buy&hold strategies I'm looking for data series that shows the historical dividend yield of the DJIA. Does anybody know where to find something like this (I need the numbers, not a plot...)

Thanks

I don't know where to find that data for the DJIA, but can offer a link for the S&P 500:
