Trip Balls And Get Paid

If you've got a Master's in Library Science and a love of the Grateful Dead, UC Santa Cruz is looking for you!

In a down market, an even more rare job opening in the UC system, and for some lucky, dirty hippie, it will be the chance of a lifetime - official Grateful Dead Archivist.

The University Library of the University of California, Santa Cruz, seeks an enterprising, creative, and service-oriented archivist to join the staff of Special Collections & Archives (SC&A) as Archivist for the Grateful Dead Archive. This is a potential career status position. The Archivist will be part of a dynamic, collegial, and highly motivated department dedicated to building, preserving, promoting, and providing maximum access both physically and virtually to one of the Library's most exciting and unique collections, The Grateful Dead Archive (GDA). The UCSC University Library utilizes innovative approaches to allow the discovery, use, management, and sharing of information in support of research, teaching, and learning.

Under the general direction of the Head of Special Collections and Archives, the GDA Archivist will provide managerial and curatorial oversight of the Grateful Dead Archive, plan for and oversee the physical and digital processing of Archives related material, and promote the GDA to the public and facilitate its use by scholars, fans, and students.

If there was similar documentation available for 90's alternative and grunge, I'd sign up in a heartbeat. That, or just being a pron archivist. I mean, a paid one...
