Show detail Hide detail

This sub-series contains documents from Hilary Nicolson, the manager of Prime Minister Paul Martin's official residence, as well as her staff. Ms. Nicolson and her employees took care of various aspects of life at 24 Sussex. Their duties included supervising the organization of meals, procuring food and alcohol, adhering to protocol, developing seating plans, decorating the official residence, managing the official gifts offered and received by the Prime Minister and his wife, and coordinating loans of works of art to 24 Sussex from the National Gallery of Canada.

The files in this sub-series document the events and meals held primarily at 24 Sussex under the Paul Martin administration. The sub-series contains information on all the factors that were taken into account when organizing a meal at 24 Sussex: the list of guests and confirmation of their attendance, menu creation, guests' dietary restrictions due to religion or allergies, as well as the costs of food and alcohol. The majority of the files pertain to an event or a meal, official or otherwise, held at this residence for foreign dignitaries, ministers and members of Parliament, friends and relatives of the Martin family, militant liberals, journalists, and so on. The documents also offer a look at Mrs. Martin's activities with the wives of Parliamentarians and foreign dignitaries. The documents include the guest books from 24 Sussex and the Lake Harrington residence, some photographs portraying life at 24 Sussex, the personal drives of Hilary Nicolson, the cook Joshua Drache, the senior waiter Roger Charbonneau, as well as the content of the two email boxes of Hilary Nicolson.
