Show detail Hide detail

This sub-series consists of a complete chronological record of Cullen's outgoing correspondence over virtually his whole federal political career. A substantial portion of the files consist of flimsies; there are occasional press articles, memos and speeches scattered throughout the files.

The correspondence is an intermix of constituent, personal, political and ministerial record, and reflects Cullen's relations with ministers, members of parliament, provincial politicians, mayors of cities, heads of corporations large and small, professional associations, constituents and other institutions and individuals. The sub-series reflects correspondence which can be styled as constituent, personal, political and ministerial, and includes all levels of confidentiality.

This sub-series constitutes a type of annalistic primary record source, from which the researcher may reconstruct both Cullen's personal biography and his political record (as MP and Cabinet Minister) over 14 years at the federal level. The completeness of the records also provides a continuous background tapestry for researchers interested in the Trudeau years.
