-=== Manitoba Court System  ===
-The court system in Manitoba has undergone many changes since the time of the fur trade. The Court Records for Assiniboia District for 1844-1872 are available for loan and purchase from the Archives of Manitoba. Many of the court records since 1873 have also been deposited at the Archives of Manitoba. Current records are found in the local courts which are part of Manitoba Justice.
