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 Clipping, WJLD Transmitter Moved to Birmingham Description An account of the resource Box 2 Folder 29: "From the Birmingham Post Herald, it says Bessemer News. “WJLD transmitter moved to Birmingham”. Radio station WJLD has moved its transmitter from Bessemer to Red Mountain in Birmingham, and this was July 21, 1952. That’s very helpful. “The spokesman from the station said it will maintain offices and studio at its present location on the Bessemer Superhighway but that all broadcasting facilities will be located in Birmingham.” So what that leads me to believe, and this is kind of interesting, we do have a picture of the studio building on Bessemer Superhighway with a Buick parked in the driveway and the license plate says 1954, so it is possible that WJLD was operating in some way out of both locations at the same time even as late as 1954, but certainly we had some relation to that building, because that date was on the license plate. Well well well…we learn everyday. Maybe for storage.
