✨The Cabinet Of Forgotten Feelings
It’s not organised by date, war, or empire. It’s organised by feeling. It’s meant to act as emotional cues for actors.
It is not exhaustive. It is not neutral. It is not tidy. 👀
It is a place for actors to scroll until something stops them cold.

History, Sorted by Feeling
Instead of eras or timelines, this collection is organised by emotion—so you can access the exact emotional texture your role needs, fast.
Handpicked During 15 Years of Archive Work
Each cue comes from real, often unpublished sources—found in archives, letter collections, libraries and databases I’ve searched for over a decade.
Perfect Between Projects
Use it when you're between films to stay connected to the emotional layers of historical work—no pressure, just powerful practice.
When the usual research isn’t enough—and time is tight—The Cabinet gives you a new way in.
I’m Dr. Barbara—a historical consultant from Germany. I normally work one-to-one with actors preparing for emotionally demanding historical roles. This self-guided collection helps you begin that journey on your own—through emotional cues and long-forgotten historical traces.
Dear Dr B — thank you so much. I’ve just finished going through the material and I’m absolutely amazed. I had already realised that in terms of research what I can do and what you do are two different things. But now I see that they’re worlds apart. Incredible.
