                <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 7 Folder 23: "Folder 23 is a picture of Victor Boykin, otherwise known as “Spider Man,” who was on WBUL from ‘77 to ’79. One of WBUL's slogans was "the sound of young America." Ron January says he had a good following and said he tried to recruit him to WJLD but couldn't . He remembered Boykin leaving for the Carolinas to sell cars. This picture we approximate to be from 1978.  Donated from photographer Lucious Washington."</text>
