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 Promo Flyer, Alma Johnson at WJLD Description An account of the resource Box 3 Folder 44: "And we’re up to folder 44 which are promo flyers for Alma Johnson, Colin Powell’s wife. She was on WJLD in 1958. She received an AB degree in speech and drama. I developed some correspondence with her in the ‘90s and she sent me these promo pictures of her in the studio with a nice note talking about her remembrances of WBCO and WEDR. Very brief. LWR: You mean WJLD? BF: And WJLD of course. As I mentioned she was on WJLD. Did the letter mention WJLD too? LWR: I don’t remember but the letter is in the donor file. BF: The donor file. What is the donor file? LWR: We made a donor file in the collection history thing for correspondence about donations so we can keep up. BF: Oh that’s right. That’s right. Absolutely. Ok. Any reason to put one of these in the donor file? We’ve got two of them. No? And she knows what she’s talking about. Incidentally, on folder 44, just backing up a second, when Colin Powell was considered the hot potato around presidential candidates, the word got out that Alma worked at WJLD. The National Enquirer contacted me and offering me all kinds of money for pictures of Alma Johnson and WJLD, and of course I refused." 1950s Alma Johnson WJLD
