3 Manitoba Archives

gov.mb.ca/ chc/archives/ hbca/ biographical/ index.html

This state archive in Winnipeg is home to the Hudson’s Bay Company collections. This particular URL takes you to an alphabetical list of ‘biographical sheets’. They outline each person’s employment history, often with details of parish of origin or place of birth, positions, plus “posts and districts in which the person served, family information, if available; and references to related documents, including photographs or drawings”. The wider Archives of Manitoba (including HBC) are currently being digitised and made available through the Keystone database at pam.mini sisinc.com/pam/search.htm.
