CeDInCI is a non-profit civil association in Buenos Aires, Argentina, dedicated to preserving and making publicly accessible the documentary and cultural heritage of Latin American left-wing movements, from the second half of the 19th century to the present. Its holdings include roughly 160,000 monographs, 10,000 periodical titles, 150 personal archive collections, more than 4,000 political and cultural posters, and a large collection of electoral ballots and leaflets about Argentina. It offers public reference services for researchers, journalists, students and institutions, and hosts research programmes, publications and the AméricaLee online magazine portal. The centre was founded from the personal archives of historian Horacio Tarcus and the José Paniale collection, opened its first premises in 1998, and moved to its current headquarters in Buenos Aires in 2003. It collaborates with libraries and archives in Latin America, Europe and the United States, and has been recognised by CONICET as a research venue.
