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 WBUL Studios Description An account of the resource Box 7 Folder 4: "Folder 4: A gathering of various media folk. Not sure where held. Manuel Fitch, WJLD Gospel announcer worked at WJLD and WBUL in the 1970's and had this and many other pictures from that period. He says these Folder 4 pictures were taken at the WBUL studios which would have been in the now-gone Five Points West shopping center which housed the studio as well as Parisians Department Store and other businesses. It used to sit between the fast food mall on Bessemer Super Hwy and the current Five Points West Library. Seated behind the desk is the famous radio engineer Jimmy Jones. We don't know the woman who appears in both pictures. Manuel seemed to think she was a receptionist. To her left in the Jimmy Jones photo is Harold Bogarty (identified by Ron January), who was brought into the new WENN by Bob Shivers and Larry Hayes and who eventually left with them to New Jersey. The man to the far right, Manuel thought, was a WBUL salesman. The second picture in Folder 4 , also from the WBUL studios, shows Deacon Willie McKinstry from WJLD, again the unknown female employee (we guess) Jesse Lewis, Sr, Publisher of the Birmingham Times, famous local gospel singer Cleo Kennedy, and Clint Harris, who wore several hats over time: an account executive with WBUL and Malaco Records out of Mississippi, and owner of a recording studio in Brighton. Ron January said Clint encouraged him to cut a demo tape which would help Ron get an on-air position. The style conscious of the mid 70's - leisure suits were big." 1970s Cleo Kennedy Clint Harris Harold Bogarty Jesse Lewis Jimmy Jones Malaco Records Manuel Fitch WBUL Willie McKinstry WJLD
