Why register?

IHLIA Open Up! welcomes private persons and organisations from all countries to explore the Website and view the available, and growing, Content on LGBT matters. To respect copyright conditions and privacy, IHLIA Open Up! makes the Open Up! collection accessible through three tiers: open access (public), exchange and share (LGBT community and researchers) and restricted access (archive owners and researchers). See for more information about the three tiers the table below.

To access the Content, we ask you to enter your personal and contact information in the registration form at the Website and agree to a set of conditions for use. Upon this application, access to the Content is granted for the duration of 6 months. After this period, we require that you renew your application if you wish to continue to have access to the Content.

After registration, you will receive a username and a password by e-mail. We require that you treat your username and password with discretion and do not pass them on to others. This is important, among other reasons, to avoid copyright violations. Upon violation of this requirement or of the terms of use in general, access will be denied to you permanently. For IHLIA Open Up!’s terms of use, click here. Organisations are asked to allow each individual to have an individual account.

At present, registration and access to the Content is free of charge for all Users. This is intended to remain so provided that external funding keeps covering our costs. Any future maintenance fee will affect new Users and Users who renew their application.

3 tiers

With each tier comes a different set of users, different levels of copyright clearance and conditions/restrictions for access and use. The purpose of the middle tier is to provide a space and means for LGBT organisations in particular to share and exchange their histories and emancipation efforts. This is seen as a creative solution for organisations to ‘open up’ their archives within their community but not necessarily to the public.
