                <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>

It’s a letter from the Society of Broadcast Engineers to Oliver Brewer, the operations manager at WJLD when it was on Spaulding Ishkooda Road back in 1985, informing him that Gary Richardson has recently been granted certification as a broadcast engineer by the Society of Broadcast Engineers, and so that’s a very significant letter. Of course, Gary Richardson is now the owner of WJLD, since 1987."</text>
