Belgranian National Institute

The Belgranian National Institute (in Spanish, Instituto Nacional Belgraniano) is an institute of Argentina focused in the historiography of Manuel Belgrano.

History
The institute was established as the "Belgranian Institute" on June 22, 1944. The creation was intended to be made in 1920, at the centennial of the death of Belgrano, but it was delayed for many years. Since then, the institute worked at congress, conferences and many cultural and educative activities. It also created many branches, local and international.

The institute was recognized by the national government in 1992 with decree 1435, which gave it its current name.
