The Association AIBR (Antropólogos Iberoamericanos en Red) started in 1996 with the creation of El Rincón del Antropólogo (The Anthropologist Corner), a website that became one of the first online social networks of anthropologists in the Spanish-speaking world. The Organization was formally founded in 2002. The basic objectives of AIBR are to promote and encourage the practice and development of Anthropology, to support the exchange of ideas and opportunities among the well-known professionals of this discipline or those who are interested in Anthropology, and to develop communication between related institutions among Spain, Portugal, and the American continent.
