Source for historical CBA data?

Hello,

I am Emanuel, an econometrics graduate student with an avid interest in basketball analytics. This is my first post here, so just wanted to first thank those who run this forum and make this communication possible.

I am working on a project that has to do with the attributes of players' contracts. I am looking for data on historical Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs). That is, for example, min/max salaries, rookie scales and regulation on the length of contracts. I have been finding sporadic data in various places. For example, the following link contains some data for the 2011 CBA:
https://www.nba.com/media/CBA101.pdf

Does someone perhaps know if there is an well-established data source for this sort of information? It would be nice to know if there exists a unified go-to place for this, so that I don't need to collect from various places. Thank you kindly in advance.

Cheers,
Emanuel

Thank you very much! Indeed those links include some historical data,dating back to 98-99. If someone has a source that includes data that goes back even more, that would be great.

Thank you kindly Crow. These sites provide different types of data. I will look into creating a database from them. Will update upon success.
