Cailee Beltran is an oral historian for the Sierra Club’s William E. Colby Library in Oakland, California. She is originally from El Paso, Texas with familial roots throughout Southern California. Her research is concerned with the U.S.-Mexico borderlands and their histories of migration and labor. She is interested in exploring topics of agricultural and environmental history, which will complement her research on Depression-era Mexican migrant farmworker justice and labor movements. Cailee is also an advocate for public history and oral history fieldwork. She has recently joined Sierra Club’s Colby Library on their new oral history program, “Documenting the Voices of Environmental Justice.”
