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. Physical Object An inanimate, three-dimensional object or substance.

Title A name given to the resource Radio at War, WSGN Subject The topic of the resource Box 1 Folder 15: "This is box 1 number 15, which is, which has two items in it from 1943. "Radio at War WSGN" a magnificent book in color describing WSGN and all of its employees and also containing one page of negro programming with various pictures of artists and ministers in particular and vocal groups that performed on WSGN in 1943. And there is a description as well of one of the pictures from the Blevins Aggregation, which identifies Annie C. McCray (first woman to William Blevins’ left) , his daughter who has provided us with information about William Blevins in the past. We do also identify a woman from the Carter Ensemble, Ludie Jackson (woman closest to Mr. Carter). These identifications were probably made by Don Solomon, a pastor from the Lily Grove Baptist Church who we’ve asked from time to time to identify members of various gospel formations. This piece was received from the collection of engineer Ben Franklin at his home in Calera, AL, shortly after his passing." 1940s Annie C.
