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 Blank Sales Contracts, WBUL Description An account of the resource Box 6 Folder 21: "Ok we’re at folder 21 which are about 300 copies of radio station WBUL’s contracts, for sale contracts. They had been closed for quite some time but the building still existed, and I was able to get up into the old facility with a flashlight and I found these. I was looking for remnants of WBUL because there was very little that we had at the time on the station. There were also remnants of WAQY, which was the Tommy Charles station that succeeded WEDR after they were dark for a while, and then after WAQY, Wacky, they called it, Wacky radio and for good reason… WBUL was formed. These were found inside the station by Bob Friedman when 1220 was still in a building out at 5 Points West on Bessemer Super Highway." Bessemer Superhighway WAQY WBUL
