From the World Bank/ IMF: Luc Laeven and Fabian Valencia (2008) created an updated database on systemic banking crises between 1970 and 2007. The database "has detailed data on crisis containment and resolution policies for 42 crisis episodes, and also includes data on the timing of currency crises and sovereign debt crises. The database extends and builds on the Caprio, Klingebiel, Laeven, and Noguera (2005) banking crisis database, and is the most complete and detailed database on banking crises to date." http://www.luclaeven.com/Data.htm
Data sets from Andrew Rose at Berkeley can be found at http://faculty.haas.berkeley.edu/arose/RecRes.htm#Software. Dr. Rose offers data on the current crisis:
