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 Bessemer City Directory, WBCO Listing Description An account of the resource Box 2 Folder 53: "Heading up to folder 53 from the Bessemer city directory from around 1953. This one page from the Bessemer city directory is in here because it lists WBCO radio station at 17th and 3rd Ave in Bessemer. Now it is the case that not everything gets updated all the time, but as of 1953, the printing of this directory, it is presumed that WBCO radio was located at 17 23rd Ave in downtown Bessemer. There is no phone number associated with them and it is the only radio station listed in Bessemer in the 1953 city directory. Which is interesting because WJLD had just moved. They had just moved to the mountain from the Bessemer Superhighway. There you have it." 1950s Bessemer WBCO
