                <text>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>

              <text>Box 8 Folder 46: "Now, we’re up to folder 46. 46 is an advertising card like, I guess, a combination contract and bill. It’s not clear what station this is from; however it does look like the commission goes to Theo. If that’s Theo Bailey, in July of ‘87 it could be WAYE. It’s unclear. But it’s for W-it’s A.A. Bonds Furniture Company, July of 1987, so we don’t know if ten dollars a spot, and it doesn’t make plain which radio station it’s from, but Theo Bailey was at WAYE.  Probably found by Bob Friedman while examining the old WAQY/WBUL/WAYE site on Bessemer Road at the old Five Points West/Parisian Shopping Center, no longer in existence."</text>
