The HBCA offers a wealth of information on the human and natural history of western and northern Canada and the western USA. Whether you are an historian, genealogist, ethnologist, environmental scientist or land claims researcher, the HBCA may be able to help. Founded in 1670, the Hudson's Bay Company's (HBC) chief interests for its first two centuries were the fur trade, exploration and settlement. After 1870, when its territory of Rupert's Land was incorporated into the Dominion of Canada, its interests became more varied. Today, as Canada's largest non-food retailer, it is best known for its national chain of department stores. The HBC's head office is in Toronto, Ontario. Its archives are owned by the Government of Manitoba and administered as a division of the Provincial Archives of Manitoba in Winnipeg. Whether you visit the archives in person, read documents on microfilm through inter-library loan, in Canada's National Archives or Britain's Public Record Office, or write, phone, fax or e-mail us with your questions, the staff of the HBCA is eager to assist. We hope this website will be a helpful introduction to the HBCA and what it can offer you.
