Related Sites
The materials listed here are primarily web sites with information of
use to economic historians.
The listings have been roughly divided according to type of resource,
though there is inevitably some overlap, and you will find that many sites
have more than one kind of information. In addition, many of the sites have
their own "hot lists" that provide excellent links.
If you have a suggestion for a web site that should be added to this list,
please contact us.
None of these are on-line journals, but they do provide a quick way to
find out about submissions policies, subscription rates, and editorial boards,
and many of them include tables of contents or abstracts of current articles.
Many of the department webpages include lists of interesting sites.
