Making a gift-in-kind to the Grateful Dead Archive.
As large as the Archive is, we don’t have it all. There are items that are missing and help filling in the gaps is gratefully received. Below is our current “wish list” of physical items we’d love to acquire. Let us know at grateful@ucsc.edu if you can make a gift to the Grateful Dead Archive.

Wish List:

In general, we are looking for materials that fill in holes in our collections. In particular, we're looking for are press clipping (from small regional newspapers), tickets,
especially from the 1960s and 1970s, and backstage passes.

Our poster collection is another high priority: the band was not sentimental about their past, and many posters are not represented in the Archive.

These are a few of the types of items we are looking for:

•  Any materials pertaining to Magoo’s Pizza Parlor in Palo Alto, CA, especially newspaper advertisements, menus, or photographs
• Any materials pertaining to Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions, especially flyers and newspaper ads (especially from the Stanford University student newspaper)
• Early Bill Graham and Family Dog concert posters, handbills, and tickets, especially 1966-1969.
