Translated by Begoña Pecharromán Ferrer and Margaret Louis Bullen

Ankulegi was founded in Donostia-San Sebastián (Euskal Herria) in 1994 by a group of social anthropologists from the University of the Basque Country (EHU-UPV).

The acronym by which it is named is formed by the Basque words ANtropologia, KULtura Eta GIzartea (anthropology, culture and society).

This non-profit-making association is now independent from the University where it was founded and is open to everyone who has an interest in the discipline, whether they are students or graduates, professionals or amateurs. To date, the membership totals 50 people.
