glbtq Archive (formerly the glbtq Encyclopedia Project)
The glbtq Encyclopedia Project was founded in 2000 by Publisher Wik Wikholm to create the world's largest encyclopedia of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer culture and history and to deliver it online. After more than two years of work, the site launched in 2003. The website closed on August 1, 2015 because of the collapse of the online advertising business model that had supported it.
