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 Clippings, Radio Logs Description An account of the resource Box 1 Folder 35: "This is box number 1, number 35. Radio logs from February 23, April 27th, April 28th and April 29th of 1947. Which now shows five radio stations in the market WTNB being the new addition from 1490. Does not appear that they were carrying black programming; however, we do see that WJLD, this is a Sunday listing, that WJLD has numerous black programming at this time. Sunday programming includes the Kelley Choral Singers, the Blevins Aggregation, the Big Three Singers, the Shelby County Four, the Poole Singers. It’s interesting because they are mixed in with mystery broadcasting which is national in nature like The Shadow and detective mysteries, Nick Carter Master Detective; I listened to all of these when I was a kid. The Tuesday April 29th log shows the Heavenly Gospel Four (possibly Don Solomon's group) surrounded by the Atomic Boogie Hour. The Atomic Boogie Hour is certainly playing Black artists and here we see a gospel group during the week. Later on in the evening St. Peter’s Church which would be W.A. Clark so WJLD certainly leading at this point in terms of black programming of the stations that were on the air at the time, although any Black programming at this point was only on Sundays." 1940s Atomic Boogie Hour Birmingham New Age Herald Blevins Aggregation Kelley Choral Singers Radio Logs W.
