IHLIA LGBTI Heritage is the leading heritage organization in the Netherlands, dedicated to collecting, preserving, and showcasing the history, culture, and experiences of the LGBTI community. With the largest LGBTI collection in Europe, IHLIA provides a valuable resource for those interested in the past, present, and future of the community. Located in OBA Oosterdok in Amsterdam, IHLIA offers a diverse range of products and services.

Their collection includes rare and unique items, such as books, documents, photographs, and personal archives, which are not available for loan but can be accessed on-site by request. They also have an online collection featuring a selection of non-fiction and fiction books with LGBTI themes. In addition to their collection, IHLIA organizes various activities, including exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and roundtable discussions that explore and celebrate sexual and gender diversity in heritage.

They also offer tours, providing visitors with an intimate look behind the scenes. Whether you're a student, teacher, or simply curious about LGBTI history, IHLIA provides educational resources such as lesson packages and factsheets to enhance your understanding. They also actively engage the community by inviting contributions to help describe the LGBTI history through their WikiFriday initiative.
