Tennessee State Library and Archives – Native treaties and records

The Tennessee State Library and Archives preserves original government records, maps, and treaty-related documents that relate to Native American tribes and 19th-century Indian Removal in Tennessee. Holdings include legislative records, land conveyances, and other primary sources used by scholars researching relations between the state and Cherokee and other Southeastern tribes. The archives serve as a primary-source repository for studying the documentary history of removal policies and their local impacts.
