Where can I find data on bilateral trade between countries in the world over time? I heard that only International Trade Center has access to this data, but I guess there's a public source. I tried but didn't succeed, for example this one.
Many thanks.
For aggregated trade, there is a excellent database from CEPII called histtrade. It covers data from the first industrial revolution. The site also has data covering disaggregated trade but only with limited observations.

A second data set is the Barbieri Data set, that can be downloaded from the COW project.
