OTHER HISTORY/SOCIAL STUDIES WEBSITES

• ECONOMICS – EH.NET (scroll down and click on “purchasing power of United States dollar, 1774-2007.” Then, type in your appropriate figures and years and press “calculate.” This tool tells you how much a certain amount of money was worth in a particular year compared to a different year—very handy for a historian!)
