This maintains both historical context and preservation needs while avoiding redundancy. The filenames' consistency confirms all materials relate to the same case (Rex vs. Negro Cuff), making date-based or case-based subgroups unnecessary. ## Groups Created - **Costs_RexvsNegroCuff_1749**: Files related to the 1749 court costs in the case Rex vs. Negro Cuff, including itemized expenses and approvals. - **HighResolution_Scans_RexvsNegroCuff**: High-resolution TIFF scans of the court documents, preserving archival quality for the Rex vs. Negro Cuff case.
