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 Gary Richardson Description An account of the resource Box 7 Folder 14: "We’re at folder 14 which is a headshot of Gary Richardson from 1977. Started his career at WJLD radio. Spent a little time at WBUL and then back to WJLD. He would become chief engineer. That extraordinary skill and love for electronics and radio created a skill set that served him well, as he rose to own WJLD in 1987. Gary secured many "firsts" in the local radio field and now claims four radio frequencies in the Richardson Broadcasting family. Now Mayor of Midfield and Tech Specialist for the Bessemer School System, you can generally find him Monday through Friday from 6-8AM on his morning show on WJLD. We have an extended video interview with Gary shot by Ed Boutwell at the Alabama Historical Radio Society which needs transcription.
