                <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 25: "Folder 25 from 1964 is a broadcast map showing the relative reaches of WSGN, WBRC, and WAPI with, when you flip it over, obviously promoting WSGN as having the broadest listenership. It’s a promo piece for WSGN and it’s just a nice reflection of another great radio station in the Birmingham market. We approximate that to be 1964 since it boasts 30 years on the air and WSGN began in 1934.  Could have been found at Ben Franklin’s."</text>
