IHLIA, Europe's oldest and largest LGBTI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender and Intersex) archive and library, is hosting the LGBTI ALMS
(Archives, Libraries, Museums and Special Collections) 2012 Conference from
1-3 August 2012 in Amsterdam. IHLIA is the International Gay and Lesbian
Information Centre and Archive, housed in the Public Library in Amsterdam,
the Netherlands.
IHLIA expects to welcome 150 archivists, librarians, museum collectors from
North America, Europe and other parts of the world to share knowledge and
to begin the process of working together to make the promise of ALMS 2012
come true. We also anticipate having a strong delegation of people from
civil society organizations that want to join us to work with national
heritage organizations.
IHLIA has a vision: By 2020, LGBTI people will be able to visit a city or
national library and find people like them in the archives. They can find
out about their history, their heroes, the struggle for their rights. We
want them to explore the raw materials of the LGBTI experience. We want
them to see the manuscripts of great LGBTI authors, we want to show them
how our predecessors lobbied and lived and loved to create a world in which
we all are part of the story.
Our conference is the starting point for a longer-term project, and IHLIA
is more than willing to take leadership in the process. During the
conference we will explore current developments in collecting, documenting
and making available our histories. We will then take the first steps in
implementing our vision.

Pre-conference
Preceding the conference, IHLIA will establish a discussion list where
people can exchange information, ask questions of each other, share best
practices. There may be a series of online discussions using skype or other
share-ware. The intention is to use the digital sharing as the basis for
substantial, deeper sharing when participants meet, thus increasing the
value of face-to-face time and the learning it brings.
