                <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 47: "This is box number one number 47? Folder 47. The year listed is 1948, and these are descriptions of the 1948 construction of the antenna for WJLN (and eventually WJLD) moving to Red Mountain. Moving its transmission facilities, we believe out of Bessemer and to the mountain, to Red Mountain. 1948 was a time when, while the construction was going on WJLD had moved its facility from City Hall in Bessemer to the Bessemer Super Highway. They were now at the Bessemer Super Highway and stayed there, at a building built for them, which we will see pictures of later, until 1952, but transmitting the signal from the Bessemer Superhighway to Red Mountain we need to learn more about.  WJLD owned the Bessemer Super Highway building until at least 1954."</text>
