ve the archival records of the government and its agencies, the courts and the legislature. The legislation provides for the acqui
sition of archival records of organizations and individuals in the Manitoba private sector and local public bodies. We are proud to b

The Archives of Manitoba preserves recorded information of all media, and provides access to that information. Our mission is to pro
tect information of fundamental significance to community identities, well being and individual and collective self-knowledge. The Ar
chives documents the mutual rights and obligations entered into by society and those whom the people choose to govern.
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 his
tory of the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC). There are two primary centres of acquisition at the Archives, these being Government and Private Sec
tor Archives (GPSA) and the Hudson's Bay Company Archives (HBCA). The Archives of Manitoba belongs to the people and the province, but ser
ves 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, car
tographic records and architectural records. Search the Keystone Archives Descriptive Database for descriptions of archival records.
