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. Still Image A static visual representation. Examples include paintings, drawings, graphic designs, plans and maps. Recommended best practice is to assign the type Text to images of textual materials.

Title A name given to the resource Bessemer City Hall, 1947 Description An account of the resource Box 1 Folder 41: "Box 1 folder 41, which contains 2 pictures from 1947, we believe of Bessemer City Hall first without the addition. It’s hard to believe that this is the same year. I don’t believe it could possibly be the same year but then again I’m not sure. The reason I say that is because the first picture shows the City Hall from its entrance traveling east on 3rd avenue in Bessemer. The second picture shows more construction going west from the general entrance and going north as well, a great deal of construction. We approximated the year because WJLD moved into City Hall in Bessemer in 1945, from ’45 to ’47. It could have just been an expansion to the City Hall. WJLD moved out of City Hall in ’47. So perhaps these pictures are actually earlier than ’47 but we’re going to leave it at ’47 because the finished clock tower and the larger construction would certainly look like the building that we were active in for the period, by 1947. The first picture may be where we were in 1945. Not clear. It has the same reference number, which is not on the picture per say but is placed on the picture before they take the picture of the building. So, a lot of discussion about that.
