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.

There are various clipping from the Birmingham News or the Post Herald not sure which one, of WJLD going on the air in April of 1942. The smaller clipping entitled Bessemer’s WJLD goes on the air is from April 20 covering what happened at the very first airing of the station. There is also an announcement as well previous to going on the air. April 19 the day that WJLD started actually began programming in the evening at 8 o’clock. On the evening of April 19, 1942 when major Jap Bryant got the outlet underway so, they actually went on in the evening for the first time. These articles, copies of articles, from the library archives. A couple of these are microfiche from the archives at the Birmingham Library Archives. The larger newsprint copy is a put together picture of the backside of this announcement where WJLD opens tomorrow. And there is somewhere, that original picture, which is framed and in the big box. That was 1942." 1940s Bessemer Birmingham News Birmingham Post Herald Birmingham Public Library WJLD
