Los Borderlanders began in January 1989 when Dora Guerra, then the Special Collections Librarian at The University of Texas at San Antonio, invited a few scholars she knew, but who were unknown to each other, for breakfast. The group found the experience to be so beneficial that it began to meet bi- monthly. It subsequently grew, and the idea spread to Austin in October 1990, where the Amigos de la Frontera was established. Los Borderlanders meet during the odd numbered months in San Antonio. Los Amigos meet during the even numbered months in Austin.
Participation is very informal and Dutch treat.
