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. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists.

Title A name given to the resource Bessemer City Directory, 1951 Description An account of the resource Box 2 Folder 22: "Alright, we now are looking at folder 22. This is from the Bessemer City directory 1951. Two stations listed: WBCO radio station on 17th and 3rd Avenue and that was the first location for WBCO. WJLD was at this time of course on the Bessemer Superhighway, its third location, so the only radio station in Bessemer proper was WBCO. WJLD was still in Bessemer but on the Bessemer Superhighway at this time. I got this from, well there was a Bessemer City directory probably in the Birmingham library and I copied that out of there to kind of confirm where the stations were at a particular time. Okay." 1950s Bessemer WBCO WJLD
