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 Program Schedule, WMBM Miami Description An account of the resource Box 3 Folder 18: "Moving right along to folder 18. This is WMBM Miami program schedule for December of 1955, which lists Eddie Castleberry and some other people who are on MBM. "Set volumes go up when Ed comes on." We have it because Eddie Castleberry was there and was here in the Birmingham market for many years. Eddie was interviewed while visiting at WJLD and several years later contributed a second interview over the phone. Bob Umbach is also listed in December of 1955 at MBM. About Bob, it says, “Spins the most requested R&B, jive, and jazz records. Included are live guest interviews.” WMBM. Mark that down and let’s see if they have any kind of an archive that we have to contact them. I think they’re still in existence. Eddie Castleberry, that was December of ’55, and Bob Umbach, both there." 1950s Bob Umbach Eddie Castleberry Miami WMBM
