In a September post, we listed many of the projects that were going to receive National Leadership Grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). One grant recipient that got a lot of attention was the University of California Santa Cruz who received funding ($615,000) to digitize material from its Grateful Dead Archive and call it Virtual Terrapin Station.

Today, more news from UC Santa Cruz. We came a cross a post with news that the Grateful Dead Archive is looking for an archivist. If you’re a Deadhead archivist this might be the job for you. Here’s what the item in Relix says:
