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.

Title A name given to the resource Gatemouth Moore Description An account of the resource Box 2 Folder 43: "We’re now at folder 43 which contains an original picture of Gatemouth Moore. This is a promo picture that was given out compliments of the Guarantee Jewelry Company, which was one of his sponsors. We received this tattered copy from a niece of his, I believe, at his behest. And Gatemouth was an incredibly colorful figure, first as a blues singer, later as a gospel singer. He began his radio career at WEDR. At one point he told me he taught Shelley Stewart how to work on the air there. One of the things he was known for was staging his own funeral down 4th Ave North in an open casket, then resurrecting himself at the Masonic Temple. And people threw money in the casket; it was quite a scene, I understand. Something I would have given anything to see, and I imagine anybody would. The classic days of 1950s radio. We have several interviews with him as well as examples of his blues and gospel recordings." 1950s Gatemouth Moore Guarantee Jewelry Company Masonic Temple WEDR
