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 Sterling Jubilee Singers Description An account of the resource Box 1 Folder 29: "Ok this is box 1 folder 29 from 1946. A picture given to us by one of the family members of the Sterling Jubilee Singers, which we approximate to be that old. They were an old group in this town. Their dress-wear certainly leads us to believe that it could have been that old. The first bass and chaplain was Roy Gaston and we don’t know if he was related al all to A.G. Gaston but there is certainly a likelihood. The famous Sterling Jubilee singers of Birmingham, it’s a color picture. We don’t know if it was just colorized; it might have been colorized. We received it we believe from a member of the family of one of these performers, and I do not remember who." 1940s Birmingham Roy Gaston Sterling Jubilee Singers
