In this special live recording of Hey History! host Axel Clark asks historians Clare and Anna how historical objects can help us learn history.

What can a piece of ochre tell us about Australia’s Deep Time History? Can an old gold pan help us to hear the past? We’ll look at how museums decide what objects to include in their collections, and how everyday objects all around us can link us to people from the past. You might even have a special object in your family from the past you’d like to tell us about!

Suitable for ages 8-12. Years 3-6
