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.

That picture came from Doug Seroff’s booklet "Birmingham Quartet Scrapbook" from October of 1980. Doug Seroff is a scholar of the Black quartet tradition and made many trips to Birmingham in the 1970's and 80's interviewing many quartet members. His book with collaborator Lynn Abbott on the subject, "To Do This, You Must Know How" is a classic on the subject. Not in Folder 8 but scanned (scan b) for the online archive is a scan of the CIO Singers 78 RPM record, "Spirit of Phillip Murray, a tribute to the United Steel Workers President upon his death in 1952. Tiger Thompson of Birmingham radio fame among many accomplishments, created a label to have the Sterling Jubilees record the tribute. It's a classic and can be heard on Youtube.
