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 Program, The Athletic Association of Hooper City High School, Annual Banquet Description An account of the resource Box 3 Folder 43: "This also from April 1958, this is folder 43. The athletic association of Hoover City High School invites you to their annual banquet. And in it, what was important to me, was that the program included three songs by the Daylighters, which was a group that started here in Birmingham and migrated to Chicago. They were singing “Darling it’s Wonderful,” “Get a Job,” and “Whispering Bells.” This is 1958; you can tell by “Get a Job.” That was a big hit in ‘58. “Whispering Bells” came out in ‘57. And “Darling it’s Wonderful” was their own record that came out in 1958. And also “You Wonder Why”. Now I don’t know which… that could have been the Cadillac’s “Wonder Why” or a copy of “I Wonder Why” by Dion and the Belmonts. We don’t know. Or it could have been something the Daylighters did and I just may not be aware of it. In any event, Tony Gideon, who lives in Birmingham, was a member of the original Daylighters and I gave him a copy of this. I did not get it from him. They were having their event at the AG Gaston Motel. Not sure who donated this or if I found it in a thrift store." 1950s Daylighters Hooper City High School
