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 Forniss Building Description An account of the resource Box 1 Folder 53: "Okay this is folder number 53, pictures of the Forniss Building on 4th Avenue. It is not there now. Edwards Chevrolet uses that property for body work so that’s gone. But this picture was taken in January of ’49. The reason its in the folder is because in September of ’49 WEDR moved into this building. Now we blew up the picture, we got the picture from the Birmingham Public Library archives, and when you look closely, there are music lessons being given in this building. And there is a woman on the second floor, I’m not sure if she’s just looking out or washing the windows. They had a notary public, and a lot else we cannot make out. Georgia’s Music Studios on the first floor as well. We were glad to get this picture, because it’s very close to circa WEDR beginning." 1940s Birmingham Public Library Forniss Building WEDR
