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 WENN Staff, Gaston Lounge Description An account of the resource Box 8 Folder 4: "This is folder 4 which is an 8x10 black and white out in front of Gaston’s Funeral… actually, it’s out in front of Gaston’s Lounge and Dining. This would have been a part of the Gaston Motel on 5th Avenue North. I don’t know where that is but it indicates WENN radio, AM 1320, FM 107.7. This is previous to WAGG being actually given call letters, and there’s a number of people in this picture. It does look like… I want to check to see whether one of these people is Don Solomon all of a sudden. If he would know who these people are in any event. But they were people who were there at the start. And we’ll find out more about that. With the last edit of this document in 2019, Ron January informed Bob Friedman that he could ID from left to right, Lou Willie, then skip one to Don Solomon third from left, and then to the immediate right of the sign, Kirkwood Balton. Also in Folder 4, a photo of Ms. WENN 1980. Photos from Manuel Fitch's scrapbook." 1980s A. G. Gaston Lounge A. G. Gaston Motel Beauty Contest Don Solomon Kirkwood Balton Lou Willie WAGG WENN
