Description:
Nicely done site about the Great Depression that includes a transcribed oral history project. Students interviewed 2 couples and 5 other people who lived during the depression. The interviews are easy to read and contain interesting information. The site also has links to two price lists, one from 1930 and one from 1932-33.

Comments:
This site will be a catalyst in the classroom to inspire learners to think of another topic and people who could be interviewed to learn about the chosen topic.
