                <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 5: "And here’s another… this is folder 5, and it’s an affidavit of publication from the Birmingham News, indicating they did publish the fact that they had applied to the FCC for a construction permit, to permit its station location from Homewood, AL, which would have been on the mountain, upon Red Mountain, to Fairfield, AL, as the city of license. And the station never had, oh pardon me… pardon me, pardon me, pardon me…. The station at this point is not at Homewood or up on Red Mountain. The station is on 109 North 19th Street, downtown Birmingham. They’ve been there for about 5 or 6 years, from about 1966 ‘till about ’72, but they had to apply for a license to move the facility. And even though they moved to Spaulding Ishkooda Road, it was within a certain millivolt contour of Fairfield, and so that they could claim Fairfield as the city of license.
