Title A name given to the resource Ephemera Collection Description An account of the resource 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.

Title A name given to the resource Engineering Report for Non-Directive Antenna, Proof of Performance Description An account of the resource Box 5 Folder 12: "Folder 12 from 1967 is an engineering report for the antennae for WJLD. It is dated March of 1967 and WJLD is… and apparently this is trying to determine… well, they’ve taken numerous field strength measurements. Their daytime power is 1,000 watts (1Kw) and 250 watts at night (.25Kw). A UHF TV antenna was going to be installed on the WJLD tower. The performance report was produced to confirm that after the UHF antenna was installed, the variation in the broadcast bubble was negligible and would not be a source of interference. The tower is up on Red Mountain in Homewood. This is 1967. That’s where they are. They are still broadcasting from the tower in Homewood even though their studios are located downtown Birmingham. Folder also contains affidavit from engineer Claude Gray dated March 20, 1967. From the WJLD files." 1960s Claude M. Gray Red Mountain Technical Manual WJLD
