Description:
The Hudson’s Bay Company Archives is a division of the Archives of Manitoba and has been since the records were transferred from London, England in 1974 and formally donated to the Province of Manitoba in 1994. In 2007, HBCA records from 1670-1920 along with the Quebec Seminary Collection were the first Canadian inscriptions added to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Memory of the World Register.
The holdings of the Hudson’s Bay Company Archives, Archives of Manitoba, provide a comprehensive record of the operations of the Hudson’s Bay Company since its inception in 1670 into the 21st century. This includes the history of the fur trade, North American exploration and the development of Canada as a country. It includes the transformation of the HBC from fur trade into its modern retail operation, the development of its wholesale business, property holdings and various commercial pursuits along with its transition from a British company to a Canadian company in the latter part of the 20th century.
The holdings include records of decision makers in cities such as London, Winnipeg and Montreal, of clerks and accountants at remote fur trade posts, of ship's captains and explorers. The records provide evidence of the company’s decision-making, communications, accounts and transactions, employees and its recording (in words and images) of the various territories in which it operated and of the people with whom it came into contact.
In addition to the Hudson's Bay Company Corporate records, the Hudson’s Bay Company Archives has a significant collection of related non-corporate records of individuals and HBC subsidiary companies (including the North West Company and Simpsons).
