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, Entertainment Description An account of the resource Box 1 Folder 46: "OK moving to box 1 number 46 are a number of clippings from the Birmingham World newspaper from 1948. They describe many activities going on in the city of Birmingham. Some commentary can be seen on national issues as well. Various advertisements for entertainment and so forth. The Carver Theater is mentioned extensively in it as well as various companies that supported the Carver Theater. The grand opening of the Carver Theater was apparently December 25, Christmas Day, 1948. The ad for space at Forniss Printing came out nine months before WEDR 1220 AM occupied that space.The congratulations from local businesses were reprinted in the Memphis World. All other clips come from the Birmingham World. This is from the Memphis World in Memphis, Tennessee. Lots of local businesses supporting the opening of the Carver Theater." 1940s Birmingham Birmingham Theater Birmingham World Bullmoose Jackson Bullmoose Jackson's Buffalo Bearcats Carver Theater City Auditorium Erskine Hawkins Forniss Building Golden Gate Quartet Grand Terrace Joe Liggans Joe Liggans' Honeydrippers Johnny Moore Johnny Moore's Three Blazers Masonic Temple Memphis World The Golden Gates
