Academia Argentina de Letras

Academia Argentina de Letras (AAL) is an Argentine institution devoted to the study, promotion, and preservation of the Spanish language and literary culture. Its work brings together scholars, writers, translators, critics, and other specialists through academic programs, research, publications, and public events. The Academy maintains a network of full, corresponding, and honorary members in Argentina and abroad, and provides information about its history, governance, departments, and academic chairs.

Through its Department of Linguistic and Philological Research, the AAL offers language consultations, guidance on language use, and recommendations on Spanish, including assistance with names for civil registration. Visitors can explore resources such as dictionaries, grammar and spelling references, and material on Argentine speech. Its Jorge Luis Borges Library provides an online catalogue, digitized works, correspondence collections, journals, and the Academy’s bulletin. The institution also publishes books and offers a virtual bookstore, while organizing conferences, commemorations, guided visits, and cultural activities. Based in Buenos Aires, the AAL serves researchers and the wider public interested in language, literature, and Argentina’s literary heritage.
