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.

These are ratings from 1969. Ok, one of them is from April and May of 1969 and one of them is from October/November of 1969. These are the result of diaries mailed to possible listeners. There are 1,228 diaries. That was a total service area, which is the Birmingham metro I guess, and the metro survey area was 711 diaries, and from there radio stations lived and died in their advertising efforts. 1969. I believe this was in the WJLD files. There is a "Tommy Charles Confession" on page 2 of the Apr/May packet. Apparently, ARB is concerned that stations run huge contests just before diaries are mailed to jack up their ratings. Tommy's confession is humorous and amazed the rating service would actually print it." 1960s WAPI WCRT WENN WJLD WSGN WVOK
