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. Still Image A static visual representation. Examples include paintings, drawings, graphic designs, plans and maps. Recommended best practice is to assign the type Text to images of textual materials.

Title A name given to the resource Gospel Groups, Morrow Photo Studio Description An account of the resource Box 2 Folder 27: "This is number 27, folder 27 dated 1952. This is a lot of gospel groups from Morrow’s Photo Studio collection, 5504 Avenue D in Fairfield. I visited Mr. Morrow at his house, and this is where I got all of these pictures. He had boxes and boxes of 8 x10’s. There are pictures and then there are copies of pictures. We have been trying to identify folks in these pictures. There is, the picture that we’re looking at right now has below, there’s actually two copies of that...There is another picture from Morrow with Carlton Reese right smack in the front. Again from 1952 a young Carlton Reese who is credited with writing “We Shall Overcome” and he was from here 16th Street Baptist Church. But Reese was born in 1940. Is he 12 years old here? Maybe 13. We do have a little description we think we know who one of the singers is... Rosie Hade and it looks like her sister is right there; they might all be sisters, who knows. Anyway, we would like to know more about who these singers are. This again from Morrow’s photo studio in Fairfield. When I met him he was not in Fairfield; he was in Ensley. In the early 1990’s. Just a group of gospel singers… some that do not show Morrow’s name may not have come from Morrow. I think they may have, but I’m not…I don’t know where else I would have gotten the originals from. The Young Blood Gospel Singers of Hueytown and Willie Beaver (currently with the Delta Aires) is identified in here, and identifying would only have to be Don Solomon’s work. Here's James "Junior" McElroy from Riley, we have a couple of phone numbers from him; I don’t know that we’ve ever called him. But there are also women in here who do appear on other pictures. She’s everywhere. Again from Morrow photo studios. Marie Miller from Bessemer we’ve identified in that group. And moving right along, I’m just moving through the pictures. We’ve identified Mary Alice McCall in one of the groups. In one of the groups, that’s this one…we’ve identified everybody in this group. Is this also from, yeah it is…okay they’re all written all over the group, but we have not identified the name of the group. So there is again much to be identified. There’s a final picture in here of we don’t know who. I’m assuming again from the Morrow files. Had a pledge from the Birmingham Times to publish them but so far, no go." 1950s Carlton Reese Fairfield Gospel James McElroy Marie Miller Mary Alice McCall Morrow Photo Studio Rosie Hade Willie Beaver Young Blood Gospel Singers
