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 WJLD Platter Queen Contestants Description An account of the resource Box 4 Folder 17: "We are now at folder 17, which contains Ed McClure, known as Johnny Jive with another group of contestants. He ran beauty contests, platter queen contests from the time he was at BCO to the time he was at WJLD. He was trying to generate a Miss Black America contest and was not able to get the family, the Johnston family to back him on that. That information was either from an interview with Johnny himself, Ed McClure himself or Ben Franklin the engineer at the time for the station. We do not know who the women are in this picture; we’d like to know. From the McClure collection." 1960s Ed "Johnny Jive" McClure Platter Queen contest WJLD
