Uncover the Case of the Empire Fancy Dress
Discover the story behind WA Museum Boola Bardip’s unusual 1909 child’s costume, ‘Little Miss Britain’ (pictured).
Learn how curators are constantly working to improve their knowledge and understanding of their collections.
Listen as WA Museum’s Head of History, Erica Boyne, uses this costume as a case study to demonstrate how curators discover, enhance, and even correct their understanding of social history collections through digital archival research.
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 WA’s unique stories.
