Administrative history
The Hudson's Bay Company was proclaimed by royal charter in 1670. Originally, the company had exclusive trading rights in Rupert's Land, the area traversed by rivers flowing into the Hudson Bay. In 1821, a merger with the North West Company extended Hudson's Bay Company's monopoly to the North-West Territory. Shareholders elected a London based governor and committee which set policy for Rupert's Land. A bay area governor was then appointed and each trading post was commanded by a chief factor (trader) and a council of officers. The company headquarters was based in London, England until 1970 when it was moved to Winnipeg.

Scope and content
This fonds consists of approximately 1.4 m of textual material and 7 photographs. The textual material is made up of 5 bound Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) journals and one carbon copy of a journal, Seasonal Log books for their steamships. The journals are from the following HBC posts: King William Land, September 24, 1932 to November 10, 1933; Fort Hearne, August 14, 1930 to March 31, 1933; Fort Hearne, March 7, 1934 to January 5, 1935; Tree River, June 1, 1925 to May 31, 1926; and King William Land, June 1, 1930 to November 29, 1931. The carbon copy journal is for King William Land, and covers the period September 12, 1925 to April 30, 1940, except for the period covered by the above bound journals of that post. The Tree River journal was recorded by A. A. Carroll and Ray Ross. The steamship logs are either Deck or Engine Room logs for the Distributor, the Great Bear, the Hearne Lake, the Hudson, and the Mackenzie River. The photographs are of the participants of a Hudson's Bay Fur Trade Conferences of 1931, 1933 and 1937 held in Winnipeg and a list of names paying tribute to Victor Ingraham.
