@dinah_inquest_high_res_scans -> subject -> [@inquests, @legal_documents, @baai_history]# Reorganization Summary Files were grouped by both content type (textual documents vs preservation scans) and historical context (specific inquest case). The JPG files with OCR text form one logical group documenting the historical event, while the TIFF scans form a parallel preservation group. All files relate to the same December 1768 inquest case of Dinah, a Black woman in New Haven, making them thematically cohesive while recognizing their different archival purposes. ## Groups Created - **Dinah_Inquest_Documents**: Documents related to the inquest into the death of Dinah, a Black woman in New Haven in December 1768, including the jury's verdict and sworn statements. - **Dinah_Inquest_HighRes_Scans**: High-resolution TIFF scans of the original inquest documents for archival preservation (same content as JPG versions but in preservation format).
