Hoadly vs. Pond Costs Images Collection

Overview

The Hoadly vs. Pond Costs Images Collection is a digital archive of two high‑resolution TIFF images that capture the cost schedules and related documents from the New Haven County Superior Court case Hoadly vs. Pond. The collection is part of the Connecticut State Library’s New Haven County Superior Court (NHSC) records and falls under the library’s “Black, African American, and Indigenous” (BAAI) project, which focuses on court materials that involve or affect these communities. The images are stored in the library’s PINAX system and are available for scholarly use through the library’s digital portal.

Background

The NHSC record group (Record Group 3) houses the official files of the New Haven County Superior Court. In 2024 the Connecticut State Library launched the BAAI initiative to digitize and index court documents that touch on African American and Indigenous histories. The Hoadly vs. Pond case, a civil dispute that took place in the 20th century, is one of the cases selected for this project. The cost documents provide insight into the financial aspects of the litigation and are linked to the library’s NHSC BAAI Cases Papers Subject database, which assigns controlled subject terms to each case file.

RG003NHSCBAAIPSCostsHoadlyvsPond001.tif – 15,920 kB, 5 × 7 in. high‑resolution scan of the first cost sheet.
RG003NHSCBAAIPSCostsHoadlyvsPond002.tif – 16,012 kB, 5 × 7 in. high‑resolution scan of the second cost sheet.

Both images are in TIFF format, preserving the original paper quality and allowing for detailed examination of line items, dates, and signatures. The collection is cataloged under the subject headings “Legal documents,” “Costs,” “New Haven County,” “African American history,” and “Indigenous history.”

Scope

The collection covers the cost documentation associated with the Hoadly vs. Pond case, a civil proceeding in the New Haven County Superior Court. It is geographically limited to Connecticut, specifically New Haven County, and temporally to the period when the case was filed (exact dates not specified in the metadata). The collection is intended for researchers of legal history, economic aspects of litigation, and scholars studying African American and Indigenous experiences in the American legal system. It does not include the full case docket, pleadings, or oral arguments, but rather focuses exclusively on the financial schedules that accompanied the case.
