'''Hudson’s Bay Company Archives'''<br>
Records of this fur trading company are some of Canada’s most important. Until 1870, the company controlled almost four-fifths of the territory of present-day Canada, including northern Quebec and Ontario and most of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Hudson’s Bay Company Archives (HBCA), home to the archival records of Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC), is part of the Archives of Manitoba operating under The Archives and Recordkeeping Act and 1994 gift agreement between HBC and the Government of Manitoba. HBCA operations are supported in part through the ongoing financial support of the Hudson's Bay Company History Foundation.<ref>"Hudson's Bay Company Archives".

=== Computer Networks and Bulletin Boards  ===
Computers with modems can be useful tools for obtaining information from selected archives and libraries. In a way, computer networks themselves serve as a library. The Internet, certain computer bulletin boards, and commercial on-line services help family history researchers:
<div align="left">
*Locate other researchers.
*Post queries.
*Send and receive E-mail.
*Search large databases.
*Search computer libraries.
*Join in computer chat and lecture sessions.
</div>
You can find computerized research tips and information about ancestors from Manitoba in a variety of sources at local, state, national, and international levels. The list of sources is growing rapidly. Most of the information is available at no cost.
Addresses on the Internet change frequently. As of April 2007, the following sites are important gateways linking you to many more network and bulletin board sites:
'''Canada Genealogy Links.net'''
http://www.genealogylinks.net/canada/index.html
A cooperative effort by many volunteers to list genealogical databases, libraries, bulletin boards, and other resources available on the Internet for each county and province.
'''Canadian Genealogy Resources'''
[http://genealogy.about.com/hobbies/genealogy/msubcanada.htm http://genealogy.about.com/hobbies/genealogy/msubcanada.htm]&nbsp;&nbsp;
Lists county, provincial, and national sources; personal pages; and publications.
'''Roots-L'''

A useful list of sites and resources. Includes a large, regularly updated research coordination list.
'''FamilySearch™'''
[http://www.familysearch.org/ www.familysearch.org]
The Family History Library and some Family History Centers have computers with FamilySearch™. FamilySearch is a collection of computer files containing several million names. FamilySearch is a good place to begin your research. Some of the records come from compiled sources; some have been automated from original sources.
