What is the best source for information about American colonial economy?

Specifically monetary history. I am writing a paper and I am not sure what sources are considered "authoritative" on this issue.|||I'd start with Wikipedia


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Ameri鈥?/a>


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvani鈥?/a>


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_Ac鈥?/a>





Even if you don't consider the articles themselves to be authoritative (and on issues such as these they tend to very good), they always have a bibliography, a references, and and an external links section at the bottom that you can use for further research.





Then there are web searches.


http://www.jstor.org/pss/135018


http://www.jstor.org/pss/2936930








Don't forget Google Scholar searches (under the "more" pull-down menu) for citations to papers that might help:


http://journals.cambridge.org/action/dis鈥?/a>


http://journals.cambridge.org/action/dis鈥?/a>|||I would go to the US Mint. They have a history of all the monetary issues.





They must have a web site you could google.
