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 WBCO Platter Party, Elks Hall Description An account of the resource Box 2 Folder 47: "The next folder is number 47, and these are pictures from WBCO platter party, which I believe was at nightclub…it might have been called The Flame. Let’s see, lots of copies of those pictures but none of which tell me…oh of course, these are Morrow’s pictures. Okay this is the Elk’s Hall on 12th Street and 8th Avenue North. That’s where these are shot. Very interesting to look at how nicely people dressed. They were there for a record hop, and to me if this was WBCO and I am somewhat familiar with the people who were on WBCO, it does look to me like the disc jockey in the gallery would have been Ed McClure, Johnny Jive. Just by the shape of his head I am guessing that. And somebody who’s next to him, I couldn’t tell. It’s a youngster probably. Okay. I love this picture; there are I guess, there’s people hugging, men and women hugging. And then there’s a picture of them doing some swing. It looks like they are having a really good time. Hats off to the folks at the Elk’s Hall 1953. Those were Morrow’s pictures but copied from originals of Ed McClure." 1950s Ed "Johnny Jive" McClure Elks Hall Platter Parties WBCO
