EIA Production Source Code list for the year
This list originates from the ECIA: https://www.ecianow.org/eia-source-codes

Many thanks to Laura at the ECIA for scanning their copy of the 1996 list after I badgered them for it.

The EIA-476 standard is a system for identification of the date of manufacture of an electronic component or equipment through the manufacturer′s marking the product with a series of numbers known as the EIA date code. EIA additionally provides a scheme for standardization of the calendar year and week in a date code.
The source code lists were published yearly from 1946 to 2001.

The EIA went through multiple names over the years, causing some older lists (1946 to 1957) to have other titles.
Here is the full name history of the EIA:
1924 - Associated Radio Manufacturers
1924 - Radio Manufacturers Association (RMA)
1950 - Radio Television Manufacturers Association (RTMA)
1953 - Radio Electronics Television Manufacturers Association (RETMA)
