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 Clippings, WJLD Programming Description An account of the resource Box 1 Folder 26: "Next is box 1 number 26, which contains various New Age Herald clipping copies from 1945 describing radio programming of the period including WJLD. The significance here was the 5:45 mention of "WJLD Black & Tan fantasy will feature sepia stylists in a quarter hour of syncopation" in other words black programming on the station during that period which was 1945 (no exact date).
