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 Fan Letter, Forest Sims Description An account of the resource Box 8 Folder 61: "Moving along to 61, folder 61 is a fan letter to me, Bob Friedman (aka Bobby D) regarding the Doo-wop Shop, by Forest Sims, and he took great pains to write me. It’s all in print. Even though it was… this show was aired from 10:30 to midnight on Sunday. It was probably the most obscure moment in time where you could air a show. Gary gave it to me after I pestered him for a long time, but he was one of the fans who stayed up to listen." 1980s Bob "Bobby Dee" Friedman Correspondence Doo-Wop Shop Forest Sims
