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.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource Box 3 Folder 27: "Folder 27 is a wire service news relief. There were a couple of them. I’m not sure at first glance. Maybe more than a couple. There are six sheets. Not necessarily all from different times, we don’t know. But they are wire service sheets to the news department. They were used obviously by Ben Franklin or an engineer because the flip side of the brown paper is used for schematic drawings. Is there anything interesting? LWR: I believe we looked up something in here and found out it was ‘56. BF: Ok. It says in the center of James Eastland. He said, “White people of the south should organize a massive grassroots campaign to resist racial integration." It mentions Autherine Lucy and the University of Alabama. That was '56. And just a series of print outs from the wire service. Some of them may be commercials. They are. And some are news. They are very fragile. Probably from Ben Franklin’s papers."
