>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.

>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.
