Ephemera Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In 2009, BBRM staff and volunteers began the archiving of this collection, with the arranging of objects chronologically (1935 – 1995) and the purchasing of proper archival storage materials. In 2011, an oral finding aid with provenance was constructed by conversations between University of Alabama School of Library and Information Studies (UA SLIS) volunteer Lindsey Reynolds (now at University of Georgia, Athens Library) and BBRM Director Bob Friedman. In 2013 and 2014, those interviews were transcribed by UA SLIS volunteer Michael Mitchell (known affectionately as the MMT). For each object, the original finding aid conversation has been added and can be found in quotes in the description section. As of the most recent online uploading in August, 2019, the Ephemera Collection consisted of eight boxes containing 413 folders with approximately 850 files, spanning the period 1935-1989.

Clipping, Wiley Daniels auditions A. L. Johnson
Description
An account of the resource
Box 2 Folder 5: "Okay we’re up to file folder 5, which is a clipping which was sent to us from Ben Alexander who was one of the original members of WEDR’s staff. This would have been around 1950 with a picture of Wiley Daniels, and he’s auditioning A.L. Johnson for an announcer job. It also mentions that Daniels helps his dad an ad executive. I do not know the publication this clipping came from, but Ben Alexander was very helpful in sending us clippings he saved from his time at WEDR and the pictures of the complete staff at one point in time.
Also in Folder 5 is the obituary of Wiley Daniels, published in the Baltimore Afro-American from December 10, 1977."
