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 Photographs, King Porter Description An account of the resource Box 3 Folder 12: "A collection of six black and white photos received from Candy West from her grandfather's collection, I'm assuming. All six contain pictures of pianist and radio announcer King Porter. Three of the pictures have him with a trio at a party put on by Kennametal Mining Tool Company. I don't know who the other members of the trio are, nor do I know who the executives standing around drinking are, but it probably could be tracked down, perhaps by going to the Birmingham City Directory of 1954. There are also two pictures of King Porter by himself at the piano, and a sixth picture with King Porter, Dirty Dog (whomever that might be) and Count Basie, at a gathering somewhere. Those names appear on the back of the photo by signatures, probably of the three aforementioned. Three of the pictures of photographer credits on the back: Douglas L. Tunsberg, 1314 South Seminole Drive, Chattanooga, 11, Tennessee and they are dated Dec 11, 1954." 1950s Candy West Count Basie Dirty Dog Douglas L. Tunsberg Kennametal Mining Tool Company King Porter
