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 Crib Races Description An account of the resource Box 7 Folder 43: "This is folder 43 from 1979. For some reason, "3/79" is marked on the back of the photos and some people are wearing warm jackets. WBUL is being sponsored by Roy Buckner Chevrolet. I think they were located in Bessemer. They were having trundle bed races. This is near as I can tell, that’s what it was called. Crib races or whatever you want to call these things. Where they were having them… I’m not sure where this was taking place. There is a military statue in the background of the picture with Hal Hodgens, who was Sales and General Manager (some say part owner) of WBUL at the time. Tom Gloor was the owner of WBUL and Ron January says he thought when Gloor left WBUL, he took over the Roy Buckner Chevy dealership. Much at WBUL, I'm told, was managed by a woman, Lynn Spivey. Looking at both pictures though, it seems the youngster driving the bed is having the most fun. But anyway very very little info we have… we have more on WBUL now thanks to Manuel Fitch, but for a while we had very little info on that station.
