Need historical address information

I think this extension will help you for the future record.

Wikimedia use the Advanced Report extension to provide a tab showing address history (rendering a report as a tab is an extended reports feature) (citing https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1021#note_18644)

Might also want to consider using the "Future address changes" extension, https://github.com/CiviCooP/org.civicoop.futureaddress

Future address changes This extensions adds functionality to change an address in the future, the old address is archived as an activity in civicrm.

We sometimes use a custom location type "Old address", so when we add a new address we set the previous as "Old address" and the new one as the "Home" + primary. Administer > Customize Data and Screens > Dropdown Options > Location Types (Home, Work...).

This is only possible if you have "detailed logging" enabled. If not, you'll need to restore a backup copy of your database (to a test server!) and do a comparison.

You can check to see if you have detailed logging enabled at Administer menu » System Settings » Misc, under Logging (see screenshot). If you do NOT have this enabled, please read the logging documentation before enabling it. If you have shared hosting, you may not be allowed to turn this on; if you run CiviCRM on your own server or VPS, then you should have no problem.

If you DO have detailed logging enabled:

• Go to the contact record with the changed address.
• Click the Change Log tab.
• Find the change that corresponds to the date that the address was changed and click Update next to it.
• You should see before-and-after results.
