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 W. J. Allen at WEDR Description An account of the resource Box 3 Folder 34: "This is folder 34, a picture of WJ Allen at the WEDR mike. He’s reading a WEDR release which is in front of him in a loose leaf book. And here’s where you see that little RCA 45 player. That player was produced in 1950. They were using the big turn table, the transcription player for everything else, maybe including 45s. But they finally decided to wire up a 45 player. What do we know about him? He was sponsored by Famous Shoe store. This was a Morrow photo. Received from Mr. Morrow when I visited him in Fairfield in the 1990's. This may be an earlier photo than 1956. I think it’s ‘56... Pre-56 it says. “WJ Allen choral ensemble. Inez Allen, lead singer. Pre-56. Gospel announcer.” His choral ensemble is listed in a gathering at the Gaston Motel in 1956." 1950s Gospel W. J. Allen WEDR
