IHLIA LGBTI Heritage, LGBTI archive and documentation center in Oosterdok, Netherlands

The IHLIA Heritage center maintains over 100,000 titles of books, journals, films, posters, and personal archives spanning 1515 meters of shelf space.

The institution emerged in 1999 through the merger of three entities: Homodok, the Lesbian Archives of Leeuwarden, and Lesbisch Archief Amsterdam.

The organization preserves documents and records that showcase the experiences of LGBTI communities across the Netherlands and international territories.

Visitors can access the reading room on the third floor of Amsterdam Public Library, where staff members assist with collection navigation.

The archive holds Der Eigene magazine from 1896, recognized as one of the earliest homosexual periodicals in documented history.
