Title A name given to the resource 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.

Title A name given to the resource 500 block, 18th Street North, Birmingham, 1940s Description An account of the resource Box 1 Folder 5: "Box 1 number 5 is an approximation of the 500 block of 18th Street North in Birmingham from the 1940s. Obtained at the archives, the archive section of the Birmingham Public Library, which received many many pictures from the Jefferson County tax assessor’s files. Everything from 1977 back was transferred to the Birmingham archives. This was obtained sometime in the 1990s. The purpose of obtaining it was to try and picture the location, which was the block in which WENN was housed before their building at 15th and 5th was constructed which was constructed in 1961.. They were located in a storefront adjacent to the old main post office on 18th Street. This information came from an interview with Erskine Fausch who said that they had used blankets to separate rooms back then. This is while they were waiting on their building on 15th and 5th to be constructed. We’re not sure that this building in this picture reflects the building they were in." 1940s Birmingham Birmingham Public Library WENN
