                <text>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>

              <text>Box 6 Folder 2: "Ok, we’re redoing box 6, folder…. So we’re on box 6, folder 2, which contains a business card from Reverend Dwight Gatemouth Moore, who, of course, was a great blues singer and gospel singer and who worked at WEDR and WJLD over the 1950s and traveled extensively. A lot of information about him can be found on the internet, and I’m not sure if he told me this but somewhere I was told that he was the preacher at the funeral of Johnny Ace and that there were pictures of him in Ebony and Jet in the funeral procession. So that would be interesting to see. And we dated it in the ‘70s cause we feel like Gatemouth was active as a reverend during that time and that’s what his card indicates. “Have Bible, can preach, will travel.” And we have numerous pictures of Dwight Gatemouth Moore and an oral history from him as well.
