Grad school (humanities and social sciences) rankings

On the main website under FAQs for America's Best Colleges, in response to the question "How can I find out a school's rank from last year (or an earlier year?," is the answer that one must consult the prior years' editions, and a list of the editions of America's Best Colleges per year-by-year publication date follows.

I have a similar question for the grad school rankings: How can one learn the rank of a university's graduate program in a social science or in the humanities from prior years?
