What are the available sources for historical weather data?

For some modeling projects you need to obtain a weather file for a historical period (e.g., the previous year) in a given location in order to do a calibration or other kinds of analysis. What are the available sources for historical, measured weather data? Either ready-made weather files or raw data of any interval (hourly, monthly) that could be used to create a custom weather file would be great.
