IHLIA LGBTI Heritage, formerly known as the International Gay/Lesbian Information Center and Archive (Dutch: Internationaal Homo/Lesbisch Informatiecentrum en Archief; IHLIA), is an international archive and documentation center on homosexuality, bisexuality and transgender.[1][2]

It collects, preserves and presents to the public all kinds of information in the field of LGBTI. IHLIA curates the largest LGBTI collection of Europe with over 100,000 titles on 1515 meters of shelf length – books, journals and magazines, films, documentaries, posters, photographs and objects such as T-shirts, buttons and condom packaging.

History

IHLIA was founded in 1999 by merging the Homodok (documentation on homosexuality of the University of Amsterdam), the Lesbian Archives of Leeuwarden hosted at the Anna Blamanhuis, and Lesbisch Archief Amsterdam (LAA). Since 2007, IHLIA is located in the Public Library Amsterdam. IHLIA and the George Mosse Fund organize the annual Mosse Lectures.[3] Over 95% of their annual budget, about 800.000 euros, comes from the country's government.

IHLIA has part-time staff, and volunteers that help in their work. They provide access on request, for instance to students in Genderstudies at the University of Amsterdam.
