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 A. G. Gaston Awarding a Prize Description An account of the resource Box 2 Folder 12: "We are on picture number 12, and there’s A.G. himself awarding a prize. The youngster doesn’t look thrilled, maybe he didn’t win first prize. Looks like he got a lunchbox; he didn’t win the Schwinn, but it B’s that way sometimes. In the background we have a couple of people worth identifying including, the more I think about it the more I think that tall thin fellow is the Jemison fellow because he’s in more of the pictures and he would be A.G’s right-hand man. Again from 1950 and a WJLD event from the A.G Gaston collection shot by Bill Ricker as a copy." 1950s A. G. Gaston Nathaniel Jemison Spelling Bee WJLD
