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. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists.

Title A name given to the resource Clipping, Birmingham News Radio Log Description An account of the resource Box 3 Folder 39: "This is a Birmingham News radio log from April 11, 1957. It lists 11 radio stations and 2 television stations. 6 and 13 were the TV stations. JLD had McKinstry. This is back in ‘57. Their radio logs had the previous evening's programming - in this case Thursday the 11th - and then a more complete log for the next day's programming, which would become Friday, the 12th. . (I believe the News was an evening paper at this time). Truman Puckett. Lora Gary was there. Truman Puckett again. Willie McKinstry. Like I said they’d come on morning and evening - split shifts. Lora Gary. Jiving with Jessie; Rhythm and Blue. That would have been Jessie Champion probably. WBCO, this is Thursday evening Friday day, mind you. Sunrose Rutledge was on, Bruce Payne was on. Got Erskine Faush with the Gospel Cavalcade just on numerous times. Sugar Daddy (Andrew Dawkins) was still there at WBCO. He would migrate eventually to WEUP, Huntsville. Erskine Fausch again comes back. We look at WEDR, the Shelley Stewart show. Till signoff, which was from 5:00 in the evening, and I guess they signed off at 6:15. So he had an evening show from 5 to 6:15, but also in the morning he had a show from 6 in the morning until 8:00. So he was very popular. Reverend Spencer. Shelly Stewart comes on again at 10 and goes till 11:30 where Walter Anglin comes on. And then we see Tiger Thompson on WEDR as well. Slowly but surely by ‘57 we’re going to see the end of radio logs and the beginning of TV logs. Donated by Shelley Stewart around the time of his BBRM interview and very appreciated." 1950s Andrew "Sugardaddy" Dawkins Birmingham News Bruce Payne Erskine Faush Gospel Cavalcade Lora (Walker) Gary Radio Logs Shelley "The Playboy" Stewart Sonrose Rutledge Tiger Thompson Trumon Puckett WAPI WBCO WBRC WCRT WEDR WEZB WILD Willie McKinstry WJLD WLBS WSGN WVOK
