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 Rate Card, WBCO Description An account of the resource Box 3 Folder 11: "Two rate cards from WBCO 1450. I received these in the 1990's but I cannot recall from whom. I approximate 1954 because I'm also guessing that the writing on the back might be the scribbling of Jess Lanier, owner of WBCO but also, Mayor of Bessemer by 1954. I think he used these cards to write notes, jokes and what have you. What is shown is the "a" side and then, the flip sides of two separate cards. Ben Franklin may have told me that the notes on the back were probably those of Mayor Jess Lanier." 1950s Jess Lanier Rate Card WBCO
