Experts expect the charter to fetch a pretty penny and require donor help for any institution to acquire.

The 1670 charter signed by King Charles II birthed Canada ’s oldest company.

The provincial collection features maps dating back to 1709 , videos, audio recordings and so many diaries, letters and research notes that textual records take up more than 1,500 linear meters of shelf space.

The items proposed to be auctioned off include paintings dating back to 1650 , point blankets, paper documents and even collectible Barbie dolls.

Academics turn to the collection at the Manitoba Museum for research.

Some archival material has also bolstered land claims or traced genealogy.
