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 Gary Hotel Description An account of the resource Box 1 Folder 11: "Box 1 number 11 is a picture of a building that was in existence in 1942. The picture was actually from 1978 of a picture that existed in 1942 of the Plaza Hotel sometimes known as the Gary Hotel sometimes known as the Grand Hotel, which was on 17th Street and 2nd Avenue I believe, in Bessemer. This was the first site of the WJLD studios on the 2nd floor. There’s a copy of that picture too; it’s newsprint. This new print picture was obtained by Bob Friedman from the Bessemer Historical Society. It is an original newsprint from 1978 of the building that first housed WJLD in 1942. We assume that the building looked different, 36 years previous to this picture. Obviously with different businesses and traffic light systems and what have you." 1940s 1970s Bessemer Gary Hotel Grand Hotel Plaza Hotel WJLD
