It appears that the material was initially deposited at the National Library of Wales in 1954 and 1962, and was at a later date withdrawn by the depositor, and then re-deposited in 1967, with the addition of then-recent correspondence. A further deposit was received from Professor Emeritus J. D. Hayes, Borth, December 2009 and April 2011.
