Leslie Brock Center for the Study of Colonial Currency, University of Virginia
Leslie Brock, Professor Emeritus.
This site, created by Professor Emeritus Leslie V. Brock, deals with the study of American colonial currency. During the colonial period, each colony issued its own paper money, which caused considerable conflict with Britain in the 18th century. This site contains five full-text 18th-century pamphlets on colonial economic and currency issues from 1720 to 1749; ten other contemporary writings about the economic situation in the colonies, including sermons, currency acts, and letters to Britain’s Board of Trade, the governing body for colonial economic issues. The site also offers one article and excerpts from a book by scholars of colonial economy, and links to six other scholarly essays on similar topics. There are links to ten tables from Brock’s book, Colonial Currency, Prices, and Exchange Rates, as well as a very thorough bibliography of over 70 scholarly works on colonial economies. Additionally, the site offers a link to a site that provides images with roughly 100-word explanations of over 150 species of paper currency, lottery tickets, and fiscal documents from the 18th-century Anglo-American colonies and links to 14 other sources of information on monetary history. This is an ideal source for teaching and researching the colonial economies and money in 18th-century America.

17th-Century Colonial New England
Margo Burns.
Offers more than 235 annotated links, within 20 categories, to documents and materials about the Salem Witchcraft Trials of 1692, and more broadly, 17th-century New England. Categories include primary sources, bibliographies, references for young readers, teaching materials, museums, Native Americans, witchcraft, religious heterodoxies, and Hollywood versions of history. In addition to links, the site’s creator, a novelist and descendant of accused witch Rebecca Nurse, provides 9 documents from the trials; an account of one witchcraft trial written by Cotton Mather; 4 documents from Salem court records; an annotated bibliography with 26 titles; a table listing more than 200 people accused of witchcraft with their place of residence, year of accusation, and jurisdiction; and a discussion of historical inaccuracies in Arthur Miller’s play The Crucible and the recent film version. As the site is checked regularly for dead links, it can be a valuable gateway to sites on 17th-century American cultures, religions, and social life.

Georgia’s Colonial Heroines
Beverly L. Pack, Genealogist.
This site, created by amateur genealogist Beverly L. Pack of Kentucky, provides a 1500-word history of the contributions women made to colonial Georgia’s development from its founding in 1733 to the American Revolution. The essay features links to biographies (roughly 1,500 words) of four colonial-era Georgia women: half-Indian interpreter Mary Musgrove; Hannah Harrington Clarke, wife of Revolutionary colonel Elijah Clarke; slave Mammy Kate; and “Patriot in Petticoats” Nancy Morgan Hart. Each biography has images of the woman profiled, along with a bibliography of scholarly works from which Ms. Pack drew to write the essays. Though the site is somewhat limited, it is a good start for students and teachers interested in anecdotal accounts of women’s contributions during the colonial period.
