Question: Is there a way to find out share price history?

I started contributing to a SIMPLE IRA thru my employer in January, so far i have contributed $510 and my employer shoud have contributed $172, my account was not even opened until august (after they had been deducting payments from my payroll for 8 months) and they have so far only deposited about $120. Im concerned for the investment time lost and was curious to what i would have purchased the same shares for if my funds would have been forwarded to my ira in a timely fashion.. anyone know of a website where i can get share price history on particular funds?.. any input appreciated.. thank you!
