HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY HISTORY FOUNDATION

The Hudson's Bay Company History Foundation preserves and shares the history of the Hudson's Bay Company, one of North America's oldest commercial institutions. The foundation maintains archives, artifacts, and research materials documenting the company's role in Canadian exploration, trade, and settlement from the 17th century onward. Through exhibitions, publications, and educational programs, the foundation makes this history accessible to scholars, students, and the general public across Toronto and beyond. The foundation's work helps Canadians understand how the HBC shaped the nation's development, from early fur trade networks to its evolution as a retail presence. By collecting and interpreting these historical records, the foundation ensures that the complex legacy of the Hudson's Bay Company remains available for future generations to study and learn from.
