-Massicotte, E. Z. '''''Répertoire des engagements pour l'Ouest conservés dans les archives judiciaires de Montréal 1670–17[45] (Repertory of Contracts for the West Preserved in the Montréal Judicial Archives 1670–17[45])''.

+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".
