I guess all that's needed is a formula in the form of a function that takes a year as a parameter and a price and returns the price in today's money.
A different formula would be needed for different countries, but the US and UK would be a good start.
I've had a quick Google but haven't found anything yet. Anyone know where to look?
You can find these per year, for example http://www.bls.gov/cpi/data.htm has the data for the US. Most countries should have them in downloadable format. I can help you find them if you want, but will have to wait till next week.
Then you do:
Real price in historical year
x (CPI now / historical CPI)
= Price adjusted for inflation now
Would that be doable?
