  corps, during the war of the rebellion or the Spanish American  war,  or
  of citizens of this state who served in the regular army, navy or marine
  corps  of  the  United  States, which such organizations may collect and
  desire to preserve as a part of the history of the state.  Such  records
  shall be accessible at all times under suitable rules and regulations to
  members of the Grand Army of the Republic, members of the United Spanish
  War   Veterans  and  other  persons  engaged  in  collecting  historical
  information.  The commander of each organization shall  annually  report
  to  the  legislature,  on  or  before  April first, such portions of the
  transactions of his  respective  organization  as  he  deems  to  be  of
  interest to that organization and to the people of the state.
