The collection is catalogued as “New Haven County Superior Court Costs Case OxxvsMix Collection” and was created for the period 1700‑1800. All material is in English and is available through the library’s online portal.

Background

The BAAI initiative is a state‑wide effort to recover and preserve legal documents that shed light on the experiences of Black, African American, and Indigenous peoples in Connecticut’s judicial history. The NHSC records, including the OxxvsMix case, provide insight into court procedures, fee structures, and the economic dimensions of litigation during the 18th century. The collection is indexed by the Nhsc Baai Cases Papers Subject field, ensuring that researchers can locate it through subject‑based searches.
