                <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 55: "Folder 55 contains two pictures obtained from the WEUP website in Huntsville, Alabama.  WEUP went on the air in 1958 as the first African American owned radio station in Alabama.  Leroy Garrett was the owner and there is much in our Oral History collection on Mr. Garrett.  His radio work started in a trailer shown in 55a and 55b shows Ike Rooks, one of Garrett's early announcers who took over for Paul "Tall Paul" White as sportscaster when Paul left WEUP for WENN in 1961. A number of other Birmingham announcers either passed through or ended up at WEUP including Jimmy Lawson, Sonrose Rutledge, Shelley Pope and Andrew Dawkins."</text>
