                <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 4 Folder 22: "We’re now at folder 22, a church fan that features Deacon Richmond Davis on the front and also advertises the fact that WJLD and WENN were simulcasting religious programs on Sunday from 9 to 10 AM and then, at WJLD from 8 to 9 PM, also was sponsoring a religious broadcast. This by Epp’s Jewelers and Epp’s Jewelers was the Epstein family which were heavily involved in promoting black radio programming. These are numbered fans so obviously they’d do a drawing to see who got the lucky fan. It's interesting that you could also get your vision and hearing checked at Epps Jewelers. Bob Friedman found this at an antique mall in Anniston sometime around the year 2000."</text>
