Rex vs. Negro Cuff Case Collection – High‑Resolution Scans

Overview

This is a digital collection of two high‑resolution TIFF images that reproduce the original court documents from the case Rex vs. Negro Cuff heard in the New Haven County Superior Court. The files are part of the Connecticut State Library’s “Black, African American, and Indigenous (BAAI) collection,” a subset of the New Haven County Superior Court (NHSC) records that focuses on cases involving Black, African American, and Indigenous individuals. The collection is catalogued as a “Collection” in the library’s metadata system, with the creator listed as the New Haven County Superior Court and the institution as the Connecticut State Library. The material is in English, in the public domain, and is available through the library’s PINAX metadata interface.

Background

The New Haven Court Project, an initiative of the Connecticut State Library, aims to digitize and describe NHSC records that illuminate Black, African American, and Indigenous history in Connecticut. The Rex vs. Negro Cuff case is one of the documents selected for its relevance to the project’s focus. The collection is indexed under the subject field “NHSC BAAI Cases Papers Subject,” which assigns controlled terms to each case and related papers.
