The Queer Historian of Emotional Truths is a creative archive exploring queer life through fictional letters, monologues, objects, and personal artefacts. It blends storytelling, emotional memory, and speculative history to preserve truths often left out of official records.

While inspired by real feelings and lived experiences, the artefacts in this archive are fictional. They are emotionally true, rather than factually documented, offering imagined letters, objects, and voices that reflect the inner lives of queer people across time.

Anonymity allows the project to focus on universal queer emotions (longing, joy, regret, resistance) without being limited to one identity. It’s also part of the ethos: many queer truths have historically been shared in whispers, margins, or code. This project honours that tradition.

Yes, with attribution. You’re welcome to share excerpts from letters, monologues, or objects as long as you credit The Queer Historian of Emotional Truths and link to the original post.

New artefacts (whether letters, audio monologues, or visual entries) are typically added weekly. Each piece is created with care, so the archive grows slowly and intentionally.

It’s both. The Queer Historian is a hybrid project that uses creative writing to evoke emotional truths rooted in queer history. It imagines the personal stories that might have existed behind forgotten objects, unsent letters, and unheard voices.
