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. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists.

Title A name given to the resource Correspondence, Mayor Richard Arrington Jr. to WJLD Description An account of the resource Box 8 Folder 24: "Alright, moving right along to folder 24, it’s a letter from the city of Birmingham, the office of the mayor, Richard Arrington, without a date on it. And it’s a letter to the staff and management of WJLD from the mayor saying that he recently heard that a local entrepreneur has purchased WJLD and blah blah blah, it’s a very progressive step and all that stuff. I’m assuming what he’s doing is referring to his long time cohort, State Senator Earl Hilliard, who had purchased the station around 1985. From the WJLD files."
