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 Madison Night Spot Description An account of the resource Box 2 Folder 15: "Coming along for folder 15 is a picture, roughly 1950. This is a picture of the Madison Night Spot, very hard to find. Luckily I got it from a woman (Sherry Neilsen) who was working at the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame and she gave me permission to make a copy of it sometime in early 2000's. Of course this is on the Bessemer Superhighway, and we’ve already mentioned the numerous acts and performers that would perform there. Doesn’t look very impressive to look at the front. It doesn’t have a grand front to it, but the entertainment was fabulous and it does look quite sizable when you see the depth of the building. And in exchange for this picture, but it really wasn’t an exchange but I wanted to give something, I gave a brand new 78 of Tuxedo Junction by Erskine Hawkins on Bluebird to the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame." 1950s Bessemer Madison Night Spot
