The Tennessee State Library and Archive has a wide variety of (mostly but not exclusively Tennessee-related) UCV materials. I think the present-day Sons of Confederate Veterans may also have some records-unless I'm completely mistaken, they are the legal successors to the original veterans' organization.

It was a nationwide organization that published a magazine called the Confederate Veteran and took part in UCV reunions across the South. I am trying to find out what happened to the local, state, and national records of this organization after the last of the veterans died. We have very little for the organization here in Arkansas. There was a similar organization of Union Veterans called the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR). I have been able to locate large collections of material relating to this origination.
