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 The 1957 Municipal Tax Dollar, Condensed Statistical and Operational Data Description An account of the resource Box 3 Folder 38: "Up to folder 38 is 1957. It is a picture of Birmingham City Hall and it’s a breakdown of the budget from Birmingham City Hall from 1957. The city commission at that time, 1957, they were moving away from the city commission I believe. They had a three man city commission. Anybody’s name that we recognize here? Department of Finance. Department of Public Improvement. Department of Public Safety. Health, Education. Parks and Recreation. But I don’t see Bull Connor on here. I thought I would have seen Bull Connor. “The city maintains in 1957 48 elementary and 8 high schools for whites, and 36 elementary and 3 high schools for Negroes. The average daily attendance was 33,651 in white schools and 25,753 in the Negro schools. Last year (1956) there were 1,459 white high school graduates and 833 Negro high school graduates.” Ok. Anyway for someone who’s interested. “The 1957 municipal tax dollar condensed statistical and operational data flyer or manual.” This is when James W. Morgan was mayor. Robert Lindberg was associate commissioner and JT Wagner was associate commissioner. It was a three commissioner city executive and there was no city council. Found at Reed Books. Jim Reed probably donated it. Probably found when his shop was on First Avenue North." 1950s Birmingham Birmingham City Hall
