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.)
