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.

April 20, 1950 received by the Board of Equalization on April 21, where they are saying, “Hey, you raised the value of the land from $478 to $16,200” and they believe it to be excessive and unfair, please arrange a hearing, and it was protested. From looking at the grid, we see that the land value was increased after adjudication to $7,000. The grid shows reevaluations through 1974. This grid was found in the WJLD files with the original protest letter attached." Birmingham Johnson Manufacturing Company Red Mountain WJLD
