Description

Hampton vs. Martin Clark Judgment Document Images (Pages 3‑7)

Overview

This collection comprises five high‑resolution TIFF images of pages 3‑7 from the judgment of the 18th‑century case Hampton vs. Martin Clark. The images were digitized by the Connecticut State Library as part of the New Haven County Superior Court (NHSC) Black, African American, and Indigenous History (BAAI) project. Each file contains OCR‑extracted text and is accompanied by descriptive metadata indicating its place within the original court record.

Background

The Hampton vs. Martin Clark case was heard in the New Haven County Superior Court between 1700 and 1800. The judgment documents are preserved in the Connecticut State Library’s archival holdings and were selected for digitization to support research on the legal experiences of Black, African American, and Indigenous individuals in early Connecticut. The NHSC BAAI initiative seeks to make such records accessible and to provide subject‑indexed metadata for scholars and the public.

Each image is a scanned reproduction of the original parchment, preserving the layout, marginalia, and any handwritten annotations. The OCR data embedded in the files facilitates keyword search and text extraction for digital scholarship.

Scope

The collection covers the judgment portion of the case, specifically pages 3‑7, and does not include the summons, witness statements, or earlier pages of the docket. It is limited to the English language and is geographically tied to New Haven County, Connecticut. The subject headings—executions, legal judgments, court cases, and Black, African American, and Indigenous history—reflect the thematic focus of the NHSC BAAI project and guide users in locating related materials within the Connecticut State Library’s broader holdings.
