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 The Heavenly Four, Gospel Singers Description An account of the resource Box 1 Folder 34: "This is box 1 number 34, which are various pictures, two pictures of the Heavenly Four Gospel Singers. They probably span from 1945- 46. We know who the Heavenly Four Gospel Singers because Don Solomon is in the group and these are copies of pictures he donated around 2007. It was lucky he did because subsequent to that, he had a house fire and lost everything, so I was able to make copies for him. Let’s put this in a plasticine thing. He has identified all of its past members. We do also have an interview with Don Solomon, an audio interview. It was a group that lasted for several years, even beyond Don Solomon’s leaving the group to join the Air Force in 1949." 1940s Don Solomon Edward Simmons Gospel Johnnie Blackmon Leroy Garrett Monroe Lewis Robert Walter Spider McGee The Heavenly Four Vester Jackson
