Library, archive, information and documentation centre on homosexuality and sexual diversity, based in Amsterdam  (IHLIA-Homodok) and Leeuwarden (IHLIA-Anna Blaman Huis).
 
IHLIA stores, displays and makes available material for lessons, dissertations, articles, research, books and radio or TV programmes about homosexuality, bisexuality, transgender and transsexuality. The collection is intended for the use of teachers, researchers, students, schoolchildren, journalists, authors and private individuals.

How can we help you?

- You can consult our entire collection and, if you wish, make copies. Because of the extreme rarity value of the collection, however, we regret that we cannot lend out the material.

- Our most recently-acquired books can be found on the bookshelves on the 'homoplein' ('gay square') on the sixth floor. These can be consulted at any time. Other books, our whole collection of international magazines, research reports, videos and DVDs are kept elsewhere. We can fetch these items for you on request.

- On our website www.ihlia.nl is an online catalogue containing the titles of our collection. From here, you can make a direct selection. You can also find our whole collection in the AquaBrowser of the library search engine at www.oba.nl.
