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 Kelley Choral Singers Description An account of the resource Box 1 Folder 22: "Next is box 1 number 22, which is a picture of the Kelly Choral Singers and we have Norman Wooding Jr and William McKinstrey who later went on to broadcast at WJLD, and this from 1944, the back of the picture describes a great deal of the history of the group. Correction this should be 1945. But everything else is correct, it lists the members of the group, that information given to us by Norman Wooding II, and the sponsorship of the radio station noting that the group started in the spring of 1943 and was singing at City Hall in Bessemer. When JLD was in the city hall building which would have been between 1945 and 47, but the group started in 1943. And they were mostly from Docina, which was a mining camp on Red Mountain. It’s a great picture given to us by Norman Wooding Jr so we could make a copy of it." 1940s Bessemer Bessemer City Hall Docina Kelley Choral Singers Norman B.
