The printing dies were acquired from printers across the United States through various methods, often involving direct donations or acquisitions from print shops that were either closing down or modernizing their equipment. Many printers, recognizing the historical value of these dies, passed them on to museums, historical societies, or private collectors. In other cases, the dies were bought at estate sales, auctions, or through specialized dealers who focused on preserving printing history. As printing technology advanced, older dies became obsolete, and printers were more willing to part with them, knowing they would be preserved for future generations. This process allowed for the collection and conservation of these important artifacts, which provide a tangible link to the evolution of the printing industry.
