Searching Borderlands shows several articles that reference him discussing El Paso history, so we know he's an historian.

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.
- The monument of Christ the King
Main Ref Southwest 730.973 Sch13m
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.

UTEP Library's Special Collections Department
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.
