Notes
Custodial History: This postal record book and four others were originally created and used by Broomfield's post office. Bill Mason, the postmaster of Broomfield in the 1970s, gave these records to Rick Steele, a collector and former president of the Broomfield Historical Society. Steele donated the records to the Society in 1976; the Society later became the Broomfield Depot Museum.
