I think my question is how do I add a serialize method to an
interface class, which will invoke the serialize method on the
derived sub-class.

class Interface {
public:
    virtual void aVirtual() = 0;
private:
    friend class boost::serialization::access;
    template<class Archive>
    void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version)
    {
       call serialize on derived class
    }
};

class Derived : Interface
virtual void aVirtual() { // Do something }
private:
    friend class boost::serialization::access;
    template<class Archive>
    void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version)
    {
       ar & m_data;
    }
};
