Description

New Haven County Superior Court – Black, African American, and Indigenous History: Joseph Mountain Court Expense Documents

Overview

This collection is a set of high‑resolution TIFF images of court expense documents pertaining to Joseph Mountain, a litigant in the New Haven County Superior Court. The material is part of the Connecticut State Library’s digitization effort for the New Haven County Superior Court Files, specifically the Black, African American, and Indigenous History (BAAI) subset. The collection is catalogued as a “Collection” and contains two large‑format images (≈27–28 MB each) that capture the full detail of the original paper records.

Background

The Connecticut State Library’s New Haven County project, supported by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, seeks to arrange, describe, and digitize court records that involve Black, African American, and Indigenous individuals. The collection falls under the NHSCBAAICasesPapersSubject field, a subject‑index table that assigns controlled terms to each case file. Joseph Mountain, the creator listed in the metadata, is the individual whose expense filings are preserved here. The source metadata originates from the library’s PINAX system, and the images are hosted on the Arke Institute’s IPFS network.

Contents

  • RG003NHSCBAAIPSCourtExpensesMountainJoseph001.tif – a high‑resolution scan of the first page(s) of Mountain’s court expense documents.
  • RG003NHSCBAAIPSCourtExpensesMountainJoseph002.tif – a continuation of the scanned pages, capturing additional expense details.

Each TIFF preserves the original layout, stamps, and handwritten annotations, enabling researchers to examine the financial aspects of Mountain’s litigation. The images are accompanied by metadata that records subjects such as “court expenses,” “legal documents,” “Black, African American, and Indigenous History,” and “New Haven County Superior Court.”

Scope

The collection covers court expense records for Joseph Mountain within the jurisdiction of the New Haven County Superior Court. While the exact dates of the filings are not specified in the provided metadata, the documents are part of the broader BAAI initiative, which focuses on the legal history of Black, African American, and Indigenous peoples in Connecticut. The collection is limited to the two scanned pages; it does not include related pleadings, judgments, or ancillary documents. Researchers interested in the financial dimensions of civil litigation involving marginalized communities will find this collection a valuable primary source.
