Alva A. (A.A.) Paddock was the son of Lucius Carver (L.C.) Paddock (1859-1940), editor and publisher of the Daily Camera, Boulder, Colo. from 1892 until 1940. He was named for his father's friend Alva Adams, a Pueblo businessman and Democrat who served three terms as governor of Colorado. A.A. Paddock joined the staff of the Daily Camera in 1910. Following the death of his father in 1940, he succeeded as editor and publisher of the paper. In the 1920s, after he returned from fighting in World War I, Paddock started accepting "anything anyone would give him." He collected photographs and other materials relating to Boulder, Colo. history. In the 1930s, the Daily Camera library was established when Paddock began clipping articles from the newspaper to save. He helped form the Boulder Historical Society in the 1940s with the materials he had been collecting. A.A. Paddock retired as editor for the Daily Camera in 1960, but remained as publisher until his death in 1961.
