Online Treasure Trove for Grateful Dead Fans

The most chronicled band in Rock now has an online site where fans can shift through a good portion of the massive Grateful Dead Archive established by the group at the University Of California Santa Cruz.  The online launch of the Grateful Dead Online Archive coincides with the official unveiling Friday (6/29) of the physical collection on the northern California campus.
The massive collection assembled by archivist Nicholas Meriwether includes tens of thousands of items, including many acquired from fans and occupies a floor of the University's Library.  The initial unveiling provided access to just 200 pieces from the archive that were put on display in a former classroom converted into a gallery one floor below the massive collection of set lists, posters, memorabilia and artifacts relating to the band.
