Editing Deadhead (section)

==Archives==
Much Deadhead-related historical material received or collected by the band over the years is housed in the [[Grateful Dead Archive]] of [[UC-Santa Cruz]]. Archive curator Nicholas Meriwether, who has also written extensively about the culture and its impact on society, states "The Grateful Dead archive is going to end up being a critical way for us to approach and understand the 1960s and the [[counterculture of the 1960s|counterculture]] of the era... It's also going to tell us a lot about the growth and development of modern rock theater, and it's helping us understand fan culture."<ref name="One of the World's Biggest Deadhead Visits Austin"/>

In addition to the band's collection, many longtime fans have also accrued a large collection of Grateful Dead memorabilia and recorded live performances.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Wilson |first=Jamie |date=2005-12-02 |title=Grateful fans bring live recordings back from the dead |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/dec/02/usa.arts |access-date=2023-07-21 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>
