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. Still Image A static visual representation. Examples include paintings, drawings, graphic designs, plans and maps. Recommended best practice is to assign the type Text to images of textual materials.

Title A name given to the resource Esau Thompson, from Ebony Magazine Description An account of the resource Box 3 Folder 40: "Now we are at ‘57 and this is folder 40 and it is a picture of Esau Thompson, Perry "Tiger" Thompson’s son. “He works at an all Negro station, WEDR making 10 dollars a week.” "Isn’t that fabulous? “And his mom gives him a dollar a week spending money. The rest goes into his bank account. He has saved 400 dollars. Veteran DJ says he wants to be a cowboy. His ideal is Hop-Along Cassidy.” Tiger Thompson, his son Esau. He only lived to be about 40 years old I’m told. This is from Ebony magazine and I had no luck in trying to get the original from them. But there are several more pictures of Esau, Little Tiger, as he’s called. And he’s using a little 45 player to play his records. Tiger and his mom, Hadie are there. So this was the family of Tiger Thompson. His wife Hattie. His son Esau. Then, the woman we interviewed, who was his daughter, (Lotte or Lydia)and we have her interview in the BBRM Oral History collection.. She’s not depicted in any of these pictures. These are just blow ups of the pictures I just described. So let’s put them with them. Again, that’s September of ‘57 when they appeared in Ebony. If anybody has an Ebony from September of ‘57, bring it in. We’d like to take better pictures." 1950s Ebony Magazine Esau Thompson Tiger Thompson
