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. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists.

Title A name given to the resource Clippings, FCC Renewals Description An account of the resource Box 6 Folder 31: "This is folder 31, are a couple of articles from 1973. One indicates that certain FCC licenses of ten radio stations were held up and WJLD, WJLN was one of them in Alabama. One of them in, I should say, was in Birmingham. That was WJLD. Now, a lot of these stations are cited for having no blacks and few women. WJLD, WJLN Birmingham, which had 23 full time employees, 10 blacks and 10 women in ‘71 and 21 full time, 9 blacks, 5 women in ‘72, they were cited for a decline in blacks and women. Now that’s interesting that the license would be held up for a slight variance like that. Today it probably wouldn’t be noticed, but back then it was very close to the Civil Rights Act being passed and the ERA Women's Movement was getting underway nationally. The second article indicates a dispute between WENN and WJLD over WENN refusing to make advertising time available to someone with ties to WJLD. Secondly, Hertz Broadcasting was alleged to have broadcast information about available lotteries which was against FCC regs. Found at Birmingham library archives." 1970s FCC WENN WJLD WJLN
