Catching up today and found in “Colonial Williamsburg, Summer 2002” issue, an article on “How Much Is That in Today’s Money.”

 

Some good references to save:  on page 25,

 

“An audio interview with John Caramia about eighteenth and twenty-first-century money can be found at www.Colonialwilliamsburg.org/foundation/journal/summer02/money.cfm   (This is fun and should be saved for your docents.)

 

Online courrency conversions and moe information can be had at : “How Much Is That?” http://www.eh.net;  What’s a Dollar Worth?  http://minneapolisfed.org/economy/calc/cpihome.html (this one didn’t seem to work); the Leslie Brock Center for the Study of Colonial Currency, http://www.virginia.edu/-econ/brock.html (this might not be good either)  and the National Bureau of Economic Research, http://nber.org/cycles.html (have to look for your information.)
