Re:Federal Reserve Bank of NY "Doomsday Book" 2022 via FOIA ... by immibis on Wednesday January 08, 2025 @06:18AM (#42633056)
Supposedly, the term "Doomsday Book" (or Domesday at the time) was coined because the records were unalterable once written. The book itself brought a day of doom.

But this book is a "Doomsday Book" because it's a book written to prepare for a day of doom. I'm not sure we can draw a strong connection between the names.
