GD-UCSC press conference
I missed the press conference because I’m in New York, but I made arrangements to have it recorded so I should be able to get it on the air at KPFA, the GD Hour, and Sirius soon.
Here’s a link to UCSC’s own web page about the archive. They’re already accepting donations to “keep the Grateful Dead Archive alive and share the resources with others.”
