"Matica slovensk�, MS" (English: Slovak matrix), simply referred to as "Matica" is a nationwide cultural institution based in Martin ). It was established at its first assembly, which was held on August 4, 1863 although it traces its origins to June 6 and 7, 1861 during the "Slovenskom n�rodnom zhroma�den�" (Slovak National Assembly) issued a political program known as the "Memorandum n�roda slovensk�ho" (Memorandum of the Slovak Nation) and with it formulated a demand for the establishment of a Slovak cultural association.

On November 12, 1875, the Hungarian government banned Matica. The organization resumed activities on January 1, 1919. Currently, it is governed by "Z�konom o Matici slovenskej" (Act on Matica Slovak) no. 68/1997 (https://www.slov-lex.sk/ezbierky/pravne-predpisy/SK/ZZ/1997/68) of February 13 and the "Stanovami Matice slovenskej" (Statutes of Slovak matrix) (http://www.matica.sk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/stanovy.rtfand
