Founded in 1896, the organization continues its role as historical, patriotic, non-political force dedicated to the preservation of the true history and motivations of the Southern Cause. Membership is available to direct or collateral male descendants of any veteran who served honorably in the Confederate armed forces. Proof of kinship can be provided in the form of a service record or pension record. If you lack the appropriate documentation, the SCV will assist you in tracing your ancestor's Confederate service via a network of genealogists. State organizations of the SCV, known as Divisions, offer a variety of activities for members, while local units, called camps, sponsor events that range from preservation work and re-enactments to scholarly pursuits and publications.
Divisions typically publish a newsletter for members.
