Argentina's 1880 Conquest of the Desert in 200 Episodes

In the 200th episode of The Story of Argentina, Lucas and Luna step back from the narrative to examine the tools of history itself: maps, archives, and the digital projects reshaping how we understand Argentina's past. They revisit the Conquista del Desierto through the lens of digital mapping, explore how archives like the Archivo General de la Nación are being digitized, and discuss the rise of memory sites such as the ESMA Museum. The conversation touches on the work of historian María Sáenz Quesada, the ongoing debate over historical memory, and how online databases are making history more accessible than ever. A thoughtful meditation on why we tell stories about the past—and what we choose to remember.
