EH Net Economic History Services

http://www.eh.net/

EH.Net (Economic History Services) was formed in 1993 as a tool to assist in the study and research of economic history via the means of electronic communication and information technology. The content of the site is in English and is easy to navigate.

EH.Net provides access to an interesting variety of different information sources including mailing lists, abstracts of journal articles, book reviews and bibliographic information. The journal abstracts are submitted by authors and are available in a browsable and searchable database. There is also the facility to register to receive abstracts via email. EH.Net has a section on book reviews, which are presented in a database and in an alphabetical listing. Other services offered include databases of inflation rates and currency purchasing power for the US (from 1721) and Britain (from 1660). There is a facility to put questions to an economic historian and an archive of past questions and answers is maintained. EH.Net also hosts some online data series and maintains links to relevant web pages. Details of conferences and workshops are also available from this site.

EH.Net is owned and supported by various sponsoring organisations - The Cliometric Society, the History of Economics Society, the Business History Conference, the Economic History Association and the Economic History Society. Funding is also received from the Sandage Charitable Trust.
