Description

Jupiter Branford Inquest Images Collection

Overview

The Jupiter Branford Inquest Images Collection is a digital archive of two high‑resolution TIFF scans of the inquest proceedings for Jupiter Branford, a decedent in New Haven County, Connecticut. The images were produced by the Connecticut State Library as part of the New Haven County Superior Court (NHSC) files, specifically the “Black, African American, and Indigenous History” (BAAI) subset of the NHSC database. All materials are in English and are in the public domain.

Background

The NHSC records belong to Record Group 3 of the Connecticut State Library and are maintained for research in legal and social history. The BAAI project focuses on cases involving African American and Indigenous individuals; Jupiter Branford’s inquest is included because the decedent was identified as African American. The collection is indexed in the NHSC BAAI Cases Papers Subject table, which assigns controlled subject terms such as Inquests, Legal Documents, African American History, Black History, and Indigenous History.

Contents

The collection contains two TIFF files:
  • RG003NHCCBAAIPSInquestsJupiterBranford_001.tif (≈ 32 MB)
  • RG003NHCCBAAIPSInquestsJupiterBranford_002.tif (≈ 31 MB)

These scans represent the original court docket pages, witness statements, and any accompanying orders from the inquest. No transcriptions or additional metadata are included beyond the file names and the descriptive metadata supplied by the library.

Scope

The collection documents a single inquest event that took place in New Haven County, Connecticut. While the exact date of the inquest is not specified in the metadata, the materials are part of the broader NHSC BAAI database, which covers a range of cases from the early 20th century onward. The collection is limited to the two scanned images; it does not include related case files, court transcripts, or ancillary documents. It is intended for scholars of legal history, African American studies, and Indigenous history who require primary visual evidence of the inquest proceedings.
