                <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 33: "This is folder 33 which contains a receipt made out to WBMG-TV from Johnston Broadcast Company, WJLN. WJLD, WJLN-FM dated September 8, 1965 for engineering there. There’s a bill for solder, Coleman gas, and so forth. These were used for the digging up a ground system and the expense of a working lock which was changed. Interesting to see the hourly rates of engineers Ben Franklin, Jimmy Jones and Claude Gray. Found in the WJLD files. I believe Johnston Broadcasting may have either owned the WBMG building at one time or leased it to the new TV station."</text>
