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 Clipping, "2 Radio Stations' Licenses Renewed" Description An account of the resource Box 7 Folder 2: "Ok, here we are on folder 2. A clipping from the Birmingham Post Herald of December 16, 1975 indicating that both WENN radio and WENN FM under their new owner, the Booker T. Washington Broadcasting Company, so were awarded licenses Monday by the Federal Communication Commission. That tells us that A.G. Gaston had received permission to have licenses for WENN AM and WENN FM. WAGG, as some people had associated with WENN AM, has not been named yet; that’s why it has been called WENN AM and WENN FM. The previous owner, Hertz Broadcasting of Birmingham, again the people who received the licenses, who purchased those station properties from the McClendon family, the article goes on to say, “ran afoul of the FCC in ‘73 when differences with its chief competitor, Johnston Broadcasting Company, operations of WJLD and WJLD FM were brought to the FCC.” And again, this from the hoopla that we had been talking about earlier in the ‘70s when this Reverend Robert McKinney had brought a suit against Hertz Broadcasting for refusing to sell him advertising spots on WENN radio. However that did not get in the way of reinitiating the license and actually reassigning to Booker T. Washington Broadcasting Service." 1970s A. G. Gaston Birmingham Post Herald Booker T.
