This is going to be a different kind of a Grateful Dead web page. For one thing, it will be one that you can rely on to be in this very spot - forever, or until Yahoo goes out of business. Secondly, as librarians, we have our own ideas about information, and I believe you can count on this page to have well-patrolled and solid links.
Did I mention a somewhat different point of view. For instance, did you know that at least 3 people got PH.D's in the 1990s doing dissertations entirely about the Dead? Most people wouldn't even think about things like that, but we do.
Then there are the ways that we are like most other Dead sites out there. We love the music. We hope that you will enjoy this offbeat approach to the band, and you will visit often.

The Grateful Dead Lyrics and Song Finder is a great new addition to Dead scholarship. It was started by Alex Allen, a high member of the British government (Not a cheap pun).
The Annotated Dead Lyrics. We weren't surprised to find that this ultra-classy site was built by a librarian. Said librarian, David Dodd, has just authored a book called the The Grateful Dead Reader , published in 2000 by the Oxford University Press. Anyone who enjoys David's page or this page is a likely candidate to buy this book.
Grateful Dead Holdings in Ohiolink, a consortium of academic libraries in Ohio. This is a dynamic link, so check it later.
Allmusic.com is the musical equivalent of the Internet Movie Database. Good, detailed bios and discographies of everyone associated with the Dead, and most any other band.
