                <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 8 Folder 20: "Moving along to folder 20, which is a contract from WBUL radio for Buffalo Rock and they were charging 13 dollars a spot to Buffalo Rock, to the agency. These spots to be run Saturday on the Tom Gloor Show. Now isn’t that interesting cause finally we get some reference regarding WBUL to Tom Gloor who, as I recall, was one of the owners. The Gloor family were the owners of WBUL, but I did not know that he had his own radio show on BUL, and I might be found incorrect in my assessment of Gloor as an owner, but that’s what I recall. If not an owner then a general manager. This contract from 1984 for BUL radio.   Found by Bob Friedman at the WBUL location on Bessemer Hwy in 1994 before it was demolished."</text>
