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, Ben Alexander, WEDR Description An account of the resource Box 2 Folder 6: "Here’s another picture that was sent from Ben Alexander, which actually has a picture of Ben Alexander. It’s number 6, folder 6. We are now looking at 2 copies sent to us from Ben Alexander. We’re not sure exactly where this came from. Now it is notated on here, that it was either from the Weekly Review or the Birmingham World approximating 1950. A picture of Ben at the WEDR mic with a flag on there. The second is a picture. Now these were sent to us by Ben, of the EDR studio upstairs and Sunny Til and the Orioles behind Ben and Wiley is sitting at the desk, Ben is sitting at the desk, and Hal Singer is sitting at the desk and then the Orioles.
