                <text>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>

              <text>Box 3 Folder 48: "We’re up to folder 48 which are basically just pictures of groups and performers. The Coasters. The Midnighters. James Brown. And Diana Washington. These can probably be purchased almost anywhere. Credit for the photography goes to Michael Ochs Archive c/o Pomegranate Publications, PO Box 980,  Corte Madera, Ca  94925.  The circa pictures are the dates when the various artists had the hits mentioned on the cards.  The James Brown doesn’t have it but that would probably be 1960. Diana Washington, ‘59. Midnighters, ‘54. “Annie had a Baby,” “Work With Me Annie.” Those were big.  The Coasters, '58. There’s also one floating around the Platters which should probably be in that folder too.  Found by Bob Friedman somewhere."</text>
