- Résumé
- The objective of this thesis was to determine whether the establishment and operation of an archives service by the Hudson's Bay Company had an effect on the company's ability to carry out document repairs. Data collection methods included reivews of published material, archival records of the Hudson's Bay Company, and semi-structured interviews. The study found that the Hudson's Bay Company's commitment to operating a modern archives service in accordance with accepted archive administration practices had a substantial effect on its ability to carry out document repairs. The principled approach to repair, as practiced by the Public Record Office, was a major influece. A review of secondary sources placed this development squarely within the context or archival developments in the 20th century England. Overall, the thesis findings add to the growing conversation about conservation history in England, in particular archive conservation history as it occurred outside of the Public Record Office in teh 20th century, by discussing how some methods of repair that were devised, adopted and extended by the Public Record Office in the 19th and 20th centuries were adopted and applied in the 20th century by a well-established business operation.
