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 Bruce Payne Jr. Observes First WBCO Anniversary with Celebration Description An account of the resource Box 2 Folder 37: "Moving right along to number 37. Folder 37 is something that Bruce Payne sent us, which was a…July 15, 1952 release reflecting on Bruce Payne Jr. observing his first WBCO anniversary with a celebration in June of 1952.. And it just talks about everything that went on. They had a beauty contest. It says Bopper Payne, I guess that was one of his nicknames, began broadcasting from WBCO in June 1951 after coming to Alabama from his hometown of Vicksburg where his previous radio experience saw him with several programs over Vicksburg’s WVIM. So more about Bruce who hopefully is still with us somewhere in Mississippi. As of this edit (1-11-13) we know he has passed). His story is in the BBRM Oral History collection." 1950s Bessemer Bruce Payne WBCO
