                <text>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>

              <text>Box 2 Folder 39: "This is folder 39, which is a promo card from Reverend W.E. Burke who was a pastor at the Bethlehem Baptist Church in Birmingham and also the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in Praco, Alabama. And it announces that he was heard every Sunday morning over WEDR and Sunday night on WBCO. We date this promo card in the very early ‘50s, probably before 1955. It has a picture of him with his residence address on 413 Omega St. It was donated by a relative of his, a niece I believe, who used to work at Ollie’s  BBQ on University Blvd, which is where I picked it up in the 1990's."</text>
