El Farolito: La luz del pasado iluminara el camino de nuestro futuro

The Lantern: The light of the past shall illuminate the pathway of our future

What We Do

OLTHLRC promotes an interest in and the study of lives, times, cultures, traditions, ancestries, and histories of the peoples who emigrated to New Spain and New Mexico,  many of whom still have descendants in New Mexico, Colorado, California, Texas, Arizona, and Northern Mexico.

We hold our monthly meetings on the second Saturday of the month at the Denver Public Library to allow our members to benefit from the largest genealogy and western history collection available.  You will not find a larger selection of genealogical, cultural or historical research material anywhere in Colorado, and the assistance you will receive at the Denver Public Library is second to none.

Membership dues are $25 per family.  This includes a subscription to El Farolito, a quarterly Hispanic Genealogy publication.
