                <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 54: "Folder 54 contains the obituary for William Pope, famous Gospel concert promoter during the 1940's and 50's in Birmingham. It was listed in the Birmingham World and his date of passing was December 9, 1959.  I believe him to have been the brother of Robelia Pope, broadcaster with WEDR and WJLD. The obituary states he held concerts at "the City Auditorium, Rickwood Field, Legion Field and in other southern cities.""</text>
