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. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists.

Title A name given to the resource Business Cards, James Connolley Description An account of the resource Box 2 Folder 23: "Moving along to number 23, we have a three business card from James Connolly who was early on a salesman and also by the time this card came out, which would have been in the late 40s or early 50s probably, we’re going to give it 1952 as a date both by the 6-digits of the phone number as well as WJLN FM which was 104.7. The current WZZK was of course started here right in this building at 1449 Spaulding-Ishkooda Road, as an FM-er, but in terms of the frequency, the frequency started way back when the antenna was put up on Red Mountain in 1948. So there are people who told me they listened to WJLD, hearing it in Anniston, and the only way that would have happened of course is thy were listening to WJLN and they had an FM receiver, and not everybody did back then to say the least. Anyway, his business card, Jim Connolly, James Connolly, I met his son in town in the late 1990's and received one; the other two came from Candy West, his daughter, sometime in 2015. He also provided photos of the Red Mountain antenna site before the antenna was installed." 1950s Jim Connolly WBCO WJLD WJLN WZZK
