Cleofas Calleros Sources
Summary: Mexican Border Representative, Bureau of Immigration, National
Catholic Welfare Conference, in the 1930s. Historian
Searching Borderlands shows several articles that reference him discussing El
Paso history, so we know he's an historian.
Library Catalogs

Public Library Catalog
If you do a "general keyword" search on "calleros", you'll see many
entries, most of them books he has written. SO if you do a
subject search on his name, you'll see two entries, and these are books
about him, rather than by him.

Let's see if it's at UTEP also. If you type the title, you will
see it. Why
didn't it come up with our keyword search before? Because the
public library's information listed more details, and has Mr. Calleros
as a subject, where UTEP's information doesn't. But it is the same
title, so the same information will be in it, regardless of the
differences in computer records.
- "The Apostle of the border" Cleofas Calleros / by Kenneth Duane Yeilding. Main Library Southwest, Non-Fic 070.50924 CAL

- "Tribute to Cleofas
Calleros", by Jesus B. Ochoa: art., xxii, 142-147
- Calleros, Cleofas:
39, 107-108; photo, 108
-
Calleros, Cleofas: i, 2, 31, 113, 116, 143; viii, 35; xiv, 3; xvii,
87, 135; xxi, 34; xxii, 128, 143, 174; Tribute to, by Jesus B. Ochoa,
xxii, 142; xxiii, 127; xxv, 21; xxviii, 116; xxxi, 62-63; photo, 62; The
Mother Mission, 148, 155 (These may be articles that he authored, but
it's still useful to look at them.)
Did keyword search on "cleofas" and then "find in library" to find locally, since full
text isn't available for these titles online.
Why search both the UTEP Library's catalog AND their website? Sometimes
the collections aren't listed in the catalog yet, but they are on listed on the
Special Collections page. This is an excellent example. The computer
record for his collected papers is NOT in the catalog, we didn't find it under a
keyword search, nor a subject search (which should be in the keyword search, but
I'm double checking). BUT when I searched the
website, I found
this:
- Finding Aid for
Cleofás Calleros Papers, 1860-1977, MS 231 This is CHOCK FULL of
useful information including a nice biography, descriptions of what's available,
photo, etc.
- And in the last entry, the
Timmons papers, we see they have an Index to the Calleros Collection, El Paso Public Library
-- HMMM, we didn't know this collection existed, it's not in the public
library catalog, but now we know! another source to investigate.
In comparing the accessibility of both library's collections, the Public
Library's hours are greater and with less restrictions (i.e. only pencils,
sign in, etc.) than UTEP's, and you may not need the depth of information at
UTEP. So I'd advise starting with the public library's collection and
the other published sources and then advance to UTEP's Special Collections
if you need more information.
