What happened in 19....

[Simonbunch]

Anyone know of a web site to find out what happend or what things cost in a certain year? I'm doing a scrapbook for my parents 50th anniversary and looking for what the headlines where, what things cost, what the most popular song was, and things along that line.

Thanks for you help!

I know the history channel has an event site:
http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history.do

this one looks promising, I googled cost of living 1940:

http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/

you can google day in history and can get a lot of info.
