Abstract

The article focuses on unique artifacts from the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) housed at the Manitoba Museum, highlighting their historical significance and connection to the company's operations. Notable items include a 1940s blazer worn by post manager John Lawrie, a decorative rim lock from HBC's London office, and a wedding dress worn by Helène Hogue in 1896. Other artifacts include a ram's head snuff mull belonging to Sir George Simpson, a model of the schooner Cadboro, and surgical tools used by post managers in remote areas. The collection illustrates the diverse cultural and operational history of the HBC, reflecting its impact on Canadian society and trade. [Extracted from the article]
