Subject files

This series contains subject files related to Noel Noel-Buxton's political activities and interests, dating from between roughly 1880 and 1950. The records chiefly concern British politics, and the UK's involvement in world politics, including the First and Second World Wars, Anglo-German relations, the Balkans, Indigenous sovereignty and the treatment of Indigenous populations, the governance of colonies, slavery, refugees, and famine and poverty in Europe after the Second World War. Also includes several files related to Buxton's religious and political beliefs and Paycockes House, a historic 15th century home in Essex that Buxton purchased and restored.

The arrangement of the series reflects the structure of the fonds when it was described by McGill archivists. This may reflect the original order or may be an arrangement that was introduced by Professor H. N. Fieldhouse, who acquired the fonds for McGill and spent many years conducting research in it. Files contain a variety of document types, including reports, notes, correspondence, publications, newspaper clippings, and volumes of parliamentary debates.
