Meet the Museum: History Detectives

Every object has a story.

Sometimes it’s obvious. Sometimes it’s hidden, waiting to be found, in the smallest of markings or a distant memory.

Join Erica Boyne, head of History at the Western Australian Museum's Collection and Research team, as she reveals the detective work happening behind the scenes to uncover the intriguing stories behind the objects you see on display.

With a background in public history and a focus on oral and American cultural history, Erica brings over ten years of experience in researching and sharing Western Australia’s unique stories. 

Don’t let her American accent fool you—she’s passionate about uncovering WA’s abundant history!
