North West Company : The North West Company originated with the partnerships of a number of Montreal merchants. In 1821 its long rivalry with the Hudson's Bay Company ended through its union with that body. Some records were transferred to the Hudson's Bay Company while others fell into private hands; the Burton Historical Collection and other repositories have acquired some of these records.
