                <text>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.</text>

              <text>Box 1 Folder 39: "Moving along to box 1 folder 39 is a promo card for Rev. W.E. Burke pastor of the Bethlehem Baptist Church in Birmingham and the First Baptist in Bessemer. It announces that he preaches at 11:30 over WSGN every 1st and 3rd Sunday night. Again has a very small phone number; the number is 76225 so we are approximating the 40s, here we gave it the date 1947. For something more exact one could go to the Birmingham radio logs at the Birmingham library microfiche and try to track down when his program was listed at WSGN on the 1st and 3rd Sunday. That card, that promo card, was given to me by somebody who used to work at Ollie’s BBQ place on University Blvd. (became a church, now empty) who I think was his daughter, and I don’t know who that was who donated that card. It may be in some other information. I do remember picking it up at the BBQ place from her."</text>
