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 Broadcast Tower, WATV Description An account of the resource Box 4 Folder 11: "From the Birmingham Library Archives, the WATV 900 AM broadcast tower, located on the dirigible mooring on the roof of the Thomas Jefferson Hotel, located at 2nd Avenue North and 17th Street. The frequency 900 AM was previously held by WKAX in 1946 and later WLBS until 1958, both in Birmingham. New management entered in 1958 under the call letters WATV in 1958, but thanks to the 1961-62 Broadcast yearbook, we know that they did not move their offices to the Jefferson Hotel until 1961, so we are concluding that is when they utilized the dirigible mooring as their tower. It does seem from all accounts that the mooring was never utilized." 1960s Dirigible Mooring Thomas Jefferson Hotel WATV WKAX WLBS
