An inventory of the papers of Bøckmann is maintained at the Minnesota Historical Society. The materials, which are written in both English and Norwegian, include correspondence, certificates and awards, photographs, clippings, and authored papers. Bøckmann also led a fundraiser among Norwegian-Americans at the University of Kristiania centennial anniversary in 1911. For this, he received an honorary degree there. He was also proclaimed a Commander of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav, having been a Knight of the Order since 1907. Bøckmann died in 1927 after suffering a heart attack at the home of his son, Egil Boeckmann, in Dellwood, Minnesota.
