=== Introduction ===
Ships’s lists prior to 1803 are rare. In 1817, the British government required captains to keep passenger lists. Those which have been found from 1817 to 1831 are located in the colonial office and are indexed. Many helpful works and published articles from periodicals can be found in the Provincial and National Archives, and in local libraries and archives. Some apply to people settled in Manitoba.
''Records of the Immigration Branch of the Dominion Government, 1873–1953'', are available on microfilm at the Provincial Archives. Unfortunately, most are not indexed.
These records include files on agents, passenger manifests, and records of steamship companies. There is a list of the available individual case files.
