                <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 49: "And we are now at folder 49. This is a funeral which WENN may be broadcasting. And I think I asked Don (Solomon). He determined it’s First Baptist Church Fairfield,  Reverend E.W. Williams presiding, eulogizing his wife, Mabel Williams. And it looks like it was broadcast on WENN radio.  But it's also possible that the WENN flag is on the mike because they broadcast Sunday services. Ok. Now we think we know what’s going on there. There’s a poster on the wall that says “The church annual rally. Sunday, February 22nd. Men have to pay 10 bucks, women 5 and children, a dollar.” Well. Moving right along here.   Can’t remember who brought this in.  It could have been found with Morrow's pictures."</text>
