Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The Thomas J. Steele Alabado Collection contains photocopies of alabados collected throughout New Mexico, Colorado and Mexico along with notes and related secondary material. Although the collection consists primarily of alabados it also includes photocopies of corridos, hymnals, and other liturgical and cultural literature, music and folklore. The collection is divided into four series: Alabados-Cuadernos which contains the bulk of the material and is comprised of photocopies of cuadernos (prayer/ballad books), loose alabados and research materials. The Alabados of New Mexico series includes correspondence, prospectus, manuscript review, publishing agreement, royalties contract, and outline drafts and publication related material for the book. Alabado Related Material contains published articles about alabados. The last series Non Alabados contains prayer books, inditas, corridos, gosos, loose alabados and other material related to New Mexico folklore.
Many photocopied alabados were acquired from archives throughout New Mexico and Colorado. Some were obtained from individuals connected to the Penitente brotherhoods and other cuadernos were copied in Mexico. Some of the cuadernos and loose alabados would be difficult to acquire outside this collection.
Father Steele’s file/document numbering system was retained in the CSWR folder descriptions for possible research value.
