In 1905 the Edinburgh-trained anatomist Dr Richard Berry (1867-1962) left Scotland to take up his duties as Professor of Anatomy at the University of Melbourne (est. 1853). Inspired by Edinburgh’s Anatomical Museum, Berry began to develop Melbourne’s own ‘collection’ of human remains – including those belonging to Indigenous Australians. The Edinburgh Medical School alumnus became one of Australia’s leading eugenicists, whose legacy to this day remains deeply contested in Melbourne.
