What you can expect to find here

With this blog I plan to share some of the historical raw material I have come across in my project devoted to the evolution of the undergraduate and graduate teaching of economics in the United States from the 1880s through the 1950s. Thanks to one of the inaugural research grants from the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), I have spent significant time in the Harvard, Columbia, Chicago, and Yale archives as well as in the Hoover Institution and the Duke University Economists’ Papers Project. I do hope that the material provided here helps the academic community of historians of economics, practicing or in-training. Down the road, I also hope to attract student volunteers for a collaborative, crowdsourced project to digitalize economics course notes from generations of past economists.
