Description

Hampton vs. Martin & Clark Execution Judgment Collection

Overview

This is a digital collection of two high‑resolution TIFF images that reproduce the court judgment in the execution case of Hampton vs. Martin & Clark. The files were produced by the New Haven County Superior Court and are held by the Connecticut State Library as part of its digitization program for New Haven County Superior Court (NHSC) records. The collection is catalogued under the NHSC BAAI (Black, African American, and Indigenous) cases‑papers subject index, indicating its relevance to African American and Indigenous legal history.

Background

The New Haven County Superior Court has long maintained a comprehensive archive of civil and criminal proceedings. In recent years the Connecticut State Library has undertaken a project to digitize and index these records, with a particular focus on cases involving Black, African American, and Indigenous individuals. The NHSC BAAI project assigns subject headings to each case, and the Hampton vs. Martin & Clark judgment is indexed under the “Executions” and “Judgments” subject fields. The collection was created in an unspecified year (“YYYY”) and is presented in English.

Contents

The collection contains two TIFF files:
  • RG003NHSCBAAIPSExecutionsHamptonvsMartinClarkJudgment_001.tif (≈14.3 MB, 149 951 40 bytes)
  • RG003NHSCBAAIPSExecutionsHamptonvsMartinClarkJudgment_002.tif (≈13.8 MB, 14 498 208 bytes)

Each image is a scanned page of the original judgment, preserving the court’s handwritten and typed text, signatures, and any marginalia. The files are linked to the NHSC BAAI subject index and are accessible through the Connecticut State Library’s digital repository (access URL placeholder pending).

Scope

The collection covers the legal judgment issued in the execution case of Hampton vs. Martin & Clark, a single court proceeding within the New Haven County Superior Court jurisdiction. It is geographically limited to New Haven, Connecticut, and temporally confined to the date of the judgment (not specified in the metadata). The collection is relevant to scholars of legal history, African American and Indigenous studies, and the history of capital punishment in Connecticut. It does not include ancillary documents such as affidavits, transcripts, or related case files beyond the judgment itself.
