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.

This, I had to…this just gives you a sense of the period. It’s a folder, 6 survival secrets for atomic attacks. Now for those people who didn’t grow up during this period, we had air raids. When I was in first grade was 1949 and we would have an air raid where you had to get underneath your desk and put your hands over your head. And this gives you the instructions on how to survive an atomic attack, which of course is absolutely bizarre and would never happen. I don’t want to be obscene, but we used to say that the last step of that was…anyway so this is just a little piece of memorabilia from the period. I bought this at a thrift store just because it says something about the period. There’s a few things like that." 1950s General Electric
