Built around government documents within the Early Official Publications collection of Early Canadiana Online, this site is designed for students and teachers of Canadian studies, history and law. It is also useful to researchers and those interested in Canada's past. Learn about the formation of Canada through an exploration of the treaties and acts in the century leading up to confederation.
Learn about how the fur trade in Canada led to the exploration of the country, and to the formation of the longest operating company in Canadian history: Hudson's Bay Company. For Canadians, the history of the fur trade, Hudson's Bay Company and the early exploration of our country are inseparable.
The following Lesson Plans were created and contributed by teachers several years ago. Each one uses Early Canadiana Online to explore a different topic. Caution: These Lesson Plans are no longer maintained and may contain out-of-date information as many of the references to Early Canadiana Online refer to an earlier version of the ECO database interface. We continue to make the Lesson Plans available (as rich text/RTF documents) for those who may find the content useful to jumpstart ideas.
