'''Wikimedia Argentina''' ('''''Asociación Civil Wikimedia Argentina''''' in Spanish language) is a private non-profit association, governed by the regulations of the [[w:Civil Code of Argentina|Argentine Civil Code]]. It is an independent organization that serves as the [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapter|local Wikimedia chapter]] in Argentina.
After about one year of preparation with informal meetings, the inaugural meeting of Wikimedia Argentina took place on September 1, 2007, with 28 founding members. During the chapter's founding, a constitution was drafted, the bylaws were approved and the first Board was elected. On December 11, 2007, Wikimedia Argentina was [[wikimedia:Resolution:Approval of Wikimedia Argentina|officially recognized as a Wikimedia chapter]] by the Board of the Wikimedia Foundation.
Wikimedia Argentina's goals are to actively contribute to the diffusion, improvement and progress of the knowledge and culture in the Argentine territory, especially thorough the promotion and support of the projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. Wikimedia Argentina is also an affiliate organization of [[w:Creative Commons|Creative Commons Argentina]] and part of the advisory committee of [[w:Conectar Igualdad|Conectar Igualdad]].
Currently, Wikimedia Argentina has more than 70 members and has organized several activities for the promotion of Wikipedia and related projects, including [[Special:MyLanguage/Ibero-American Wikimedia Summit 2011|Wikimania 2009]] and the [[Special:MyLanguage/Ibero-American Wikimedia Summit 2011|Ibero-American Wikimedia Summit 2011]]. Wikimedia Argentina has done workshops and presentations throughout the country and has signed agreements with cultural and educational institutions like museums, archives and libraries. ''[[commons:File:Wikipedia en el aula.pdf|Wikipedia en el aula]]'' has become a point of reference for the promotion of Wikipedia in educational contexts.
