2014
IHLIA LGBT Heritage (formerly in Dutch Internationaal Homo/Lesbisch Informatiecentrum en Archief) was very active in this Wikipedia project, stimulated by the then Head Collections Lonneke van den Hoonaard.


 * Introductory Wikipedia course, Tuesday April 8, 2014, with nine enthousiastic participants for a full afternoon. At the end they enhanced IHLIA-related Wikipedia articles. Assistance by Wikipedians in special residence Arie Sonneveld and Hans Muller.
 * Wikipedia writing session (Edit-a-thon), Wednesday April 16, 2014: follow-up session with eight participants, guided by Arie Sonneveld and Hans Muller. Results: seven new or expanded Wikipedia articles.
 * Introduction/Writing course May 6, 2014, for interested supporters of IHLIA: four participants, resulting in three new or expanded articles.
 * Personal guidance for ten personnel in editing Wikipedia.
 * Taking stock of IHLIA's image collection. The number of digitised images was restricted and copyright issues with the predominantly recent material complicated uploads to Wikimedia Commons.
 * Overview of IHLIA-related subjects on Wikipedia. A number of missing LGBT encyclopedic articles can still be written.
