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 Truman Puckett Description An account of the resource Box 2 Folder 21: "Right and moving into 1951 here; this is folder 21 and several pictures from negatives of, three pictures, of Truman Puckett. The negatives were found in the vast negative collection of Graf Studios in Bessemer in the early 1990's although I'm not sure who or how the positives were created. One of which is clear where he is sponsoring compliments of Sam Picard and Sons, credit clothiers. That’s right ladies and gentlemen you know exactly where to get your Sunday going to meeting clothes. Anyway, Truman Puckett was a legend! He was with the station from 1946 until sometime probably in the late 60s or early 70s. There was an award in his name that was given to various people. He was loved. He had a show called the Gospel Ship and we have a tape of one of those shows. Even though WJLD/WJLN was a segregated studio on Red Mountain, Puckett was one of those announcers who did his broadcast from the downstairs studio which was, I believe, where the Black jocks also broadcast. We have Truman Puckett’s voice. He was very close to Birmingham’s church community; he had his own record label: the Hallelujah Label. He recorded the Ensley Jubilees. We have an interview with his son Rod which will be found in our Oral History collection. The smaller picture and another of the posed pictures were donated in 2015 to the BBRM by Candy West of Birmingham, granddaughter of James Connolly, sales manager of WJLD through 1950's." 1940s 1950s 1960s Ensley Jubilee Singers Gospel Ship Graf Studios Hallelujah Label Morrow Photo Studio Music Red Mountain Sam Picard and Sons Credit Clothiers Trumon Puckett WJLD WJLN
