We went to the last SC Shakespeare performance early to check this out. It's really impressive. The current display is on GD books. I consider myself a literate deadhead having read all of the autobiographies ('cept Billy's cuz it's new), most of the biographies and histories and a lot of the associated works and references. It was only about a 1/4 of what was on display at the Archive. It's really impressive as it covers so many bases. For deadheads, its a very loving tribute that honors the band in a scholarly way, a beautiful altar. Non-deadheads might just get an inkling of what it was all about - just the very notion that the Dead has such an archive in an accredited university like this is curiouser and curiouser.
They rotate the displays every year. The next one is going to be photos and it flips in January or February. I'm planning to make the opening of this now.
