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 Performance Measurements, Radio Station WJLD, Bessemer, Alabama Description An account of the resource Box 2 Folder 24: "Moving along to number, folder number 24 is another technical report, 30 pages, which measures performance for WJLD in Bessemer. So that right away dates it to some extent. It’s quite interesting to see the precision by which these…they look like field strength measurements. There is a mention of interference from WBCO, which was at 1450 at the time. The were two sets of measurements: one set that Chief Engineer, M.E. McKinney signed off on on May 6, 1950 and then an addendum with hand written readings through the month of December, 1951. This item was probably found in the files of WJLD. An outside source chance would be from the home of engineer Ben Franklin." 1950s Bessemer WJLD
