A very famous Manitoban is Louis Riel. This website tells his story and the impact of his life on Manitoba. |
The materials found on the following webpages come from the University of Manitoba Archives. An archives is a place filled with boxes of diaries, drawings, photographs, maps, newspapers, rare books, government reports and many other pieces of our past. Historians are like detectives. They use the information they find in these materials to try to learn more about the lives of those who lived before us. Each piece is like a clue in a mystery. The more clues we have, the more likely we can solve the mystery!
