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 Showtime Magazine, Birmingham Times Description An account of the resource Box 8 Folder 55: "We’re now at 55. Folder 55 is a piece, is the Showtime section of the Birmingham Times from May 4, 1989 which talks about all kinds of night life and mentions WJLD. “A couple of years ago Sheryl Hunter won the Budweiser Showdown, co-hosted by radio station WJLD, and since then has recorded a 45 record as well” and so on and so on and so on and so forth. Just referring to the Budweiser Showdown. Also in the Birmingham Times, there’s an article talking about “WJLD’s Starts Doo-wop Shop” and this is something that I wrote again for them. History of the notion of Doo-wop. Also in this section of the Times is our “Heart and Soul” format listing the disc jockeys who were playing the music including Tall Paul. This was towards the end of his career. This would be the last year he would be at JLD, would have been in 1989. And so it’s a nice little piece. You can also read about WATV. Although it doesn’t say very much, they did have an ad in the paper." 1980s Al Green Birmingham Times Doo-Wop Shop Showtime Magazine WATV WENN WJLD
