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.

And these are a couple articles that were probably supplied by Roy Wood and Roy Wood was in one of the articles; he was inducted into the Phillips High School Hall of Fame along with Sam Cooke and Diana Washington. These are a lot of people who went to Phillips High School, some of whom we would know but I’m sure all of whom many of those people from that period knew. Certainly we would know Sam Cooke. I don’t know how Sam Cooke got involved in this. But there was a hall of fame so they just decided to induct whoever they felt like inducting. Nat King Cole I could understand cause he was from this area I believe, as was Diana Washington. It also describes the history of Roy Wood. Roy Wood. And we’ve mentioned Roy in the past. We have an two interviews with Roy in our oral history collection. Passed at the age of 80, a grand man, and describes his history including his time at WJLD. He was only there about a year and he was the first full time black personality DJ at WJLD. WJLD was on its way to changing format to full time R&B programming and the hiring of all black personalities. That’s what his history shows us. But his history goes all the way back to 1946, after he graduated from Columbia University and worked at WJBA, Mishawauka, Indiana. Mishawauka, Indiana. Ok, from Roy Wood. Fond Memories."
