Hudson’s Bay Company Indexes - Alberta

The Hudson’s Bay Company was active in the development of the western provinces since its establishment in 1670.  These records can be useful to research early Alberta family history. Many types of records exist including contracts, personal accounts, pension records, estate records and census information on some First Nations peoples.
