Archives of Manitoba

Manitoba's rich documentary past is accessible to you at the Archives of Manitoba. You will discover a treasure of information about Manitobans and their history.

The holdings of the Archives of Manitoba are a rich resource for the study of the history of Manitoba and its people, as well as the history of the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC). There are two primary centres of acquisition at the Archives, these being Government and Private Sector Archives (GPSA) and the Hudson's Bay Company Archives (HBCA). The Archives of Manitoba belongs to the people and the province, but serves an ever-expanding national and international clientele. We invite you to take advantage of the resources we offer.

The Archives of Manitoba acquires records of all media, including textual records, still images, sound and moving images, documentary art, cartographic records and architectural records. Search the Keystone Archives Descriptive Database for descriptions of archival records.

Government and Private Sector Archives (GPSA) is responsible for the archival records of the Manitoba government as well as records of the Manitoba private sector and of municipalities and school districts/divisions.

The Hudson's Bay Company Archives (HBCA) is the official repository for the records of the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC). Founded by Royal Charter in 1670, the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) is the oldest chartered trading company in the world. Meticulous records were kept, leaving a legacy of information of tremendous significance documenting the growth and expansion of the Hudson's Bay Company in the vast territories of Rupert's Land, through the fur trade and exploration and the later development of a retail empire.
