In a special live recording of the peak-nerd podcast Archive Fever, historians Clare Wright and Yves Rees dig into settler colonial record-keeping with guests Professor John Carty and Dr Jared Thomas from the South Australian Museum. Launching the fourth season of the popular history podcast, the duo ask how the Museum is grappling with its collection of unidentified Indigenous remains, and explore how its historical artefacts can operate as a cultural seedbank to help Aboriginal people remember and reconnect with Indigenous knowledges.

Participants

John Carty is the Head of Humanities at the South Australian Museum, and Professor of Museum and Curatorial Studies at the University of Adelaide. He is a Commissioner on the Australian National Commission for UNESCO.
