Looking for historical information regarding SMD R, C and L - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I am trying to find the dates when each subsequent smaller size of a particular component was first released. I want this information to plot the progress of component miniaturisation over time. In particular I need release dates for...

1206, 0805, 0603, 0402, 0201, 01005......

I would like these dates for each type of component (Resistor, Capacitor, Inductor) ideally from the same manufacturer for consistency.

Any suggestions where I might get this information?
