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 Constitution, Bylaws and Rules of Order, Birmingham Federation of Labor Description An account of the resource Box 1 Folder 57: "Alright here we go. This is box 1 folder 57, which contains the constitutions bylaws and rules of order of the Birmingham Federation of Labor as amended from August ‘37 through June of ‘47 so the book is still in existence as of this moment in time. As well some stationary from the Radio Broadcast Technicians and Engineers who were apparently a subsidiary of the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers local union number 253. They were associated with the AFL. This may be before the AFL and CIO joined; obviously it is because it would have been different stationary. This is June 25, 1949 announcing that the local is on strike at radio station WBRC, and it was directed to the Birmingham Federation of Labor, so labor unity back in the day. It’s not clear where this was obtained. It may have been obtained from Ben Franklin." 1940s American Federation of Labor (AFL) Birmingham Federation of Labor International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Radio Broadcast Technicians and Engineers Unions WBRC
