Abstract
Homosaurus is a linked data vocabulary used as a controlled vocabulary on the Digital Transgender Archive. Despite this modern form, it has deep historical roots: it is based on the internal thesaurus of Netherland’s International Homo/Lesbian Information Centre & Archives (IHLIA). Two separate institutions—the Homodok research library at the University of Amsterdam and the Anna Blaman Huis of Friesland—pooled resources for LGBTQ+ history to form IHLIA, creating one of the most extensive queer-specific library and archives in the world.
