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. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Clippings, Radio Logs Description An account of the resource Box 3 Folder 14: "And we are now into folder 14, which again are a couple of radio logs from Sunday, January 16th and Friday/Saturday, January 21st/22ndnd of 1955 from the Birmingham News. Joyce Savage is mentioned at… where is Joyce Savage mentioned? On this one you have Mary Francis right here on WEDR at 2 o’clock or 2:30. No, 2:45 she had a show. Joyce Savage on WJLD was also somebody who apparently sent that notification of the station going black. This particular piece looks like a Sunday. It’s lots of gospel. WBCO. The only name we recognize at BCO is Duke the Juke and Gospel Cavalcade we assume is still Erskine Faush. Thurgood CME Methodist Church. I’m looking at WJLD. The Watts Jubilee Singers, the Carter Choral Ensemble, WJ Allen we recognize at WJLD. And St. Peter’s Baptist Church would be WA Clark. Roberta Roland is on, Willie McKinstry is on. Going to 1220, St. Peter’s Church, the Ensley Jubilee Singers, the Kelly Choral Singers, that’s Norman Wooding’s group: Walter Anglin, William Pope, they had a lot of personalities on on Sunday. Kings of Harmony. Now, that was January 16th; we go to the 22nd that would be a Saturday. Spun by Juke the Duke at WBCO. WEDR on a Saturday, the Shelley Stewart Show appears from 11 in the morning until, looks like, 12:30 when Fannie Johnson comes on. And he follows Big Jim’s Show of Music. It’s the first radio log that we find mention of Shelley Stewart, January 22nd of 1955. WJLD had the Ensley Jubilees still in the morning so they did do radio. The Gospel Five, we have a picture of the Gospel Five. Eddie Castleberry’s at JLD. Truman Puckett’s still there. RJ Pope’s still there. Rack ‘Em Back Zack, there’s his show on a Saturday night. Zack’s Record Rack and Tiger Thompson. WBCO had the Johnny Jive Show. Of course it was all about advertising. Spun by Juke the Duke. I think Duke is gone by now to WSGN. Devotional Talk by Erskine Fausch, Erskine is still there at WBCO. Lots of Erskine from 8 until 11, had very big numbers, a three hour block, and they had him on on a Saturday. That’s how popular he was. So there we have it and now we have something about Shelley Stewart, at least the way the Birmingham News was able to receive information on changes in programming. We have to kind of acknowledge that." 1950s Birmingham News Radio Logs WAPI WBCO WBRC WCRT WEDR WEZB WJLD
