As a founder and the first president of the Boulder Historical Society, Alva A. Paddock was the conduit for many materials donated to the Society, including these materials. His son Laurence Paddock continued to acquire historical materials on behalf of the Boulder Historical Society.
On 2 Jan. 1986, Laurence Paddock signed a gift agreement confirming that custody of the archival portion of the A. A. Paddock collection had been transferred to the City of Boulder's Carnegie Branch Library for Local History. On 20 Jan. 1989, Mr. Paddock signed a second agreement confirming the Daily Camera's intention to turn over the files in its library to the A. A. Paddock collection of the Boulder Historical Society at the Carnegie Branch and/or main Boulder Public Library.
The materials described by Laurence Paddock in his agreement dated 20 Jan. 1989 included "a volume of clippings, photographs and negatives and ephemera largely dating from the 1930s into the 1970s but including some materials from both before and after those decades." The materials had hitherto been stored in filing cabinets in the Daily Camera's private library. Photos were stored in the same files as the clippings and other printed materials.
