Description

Jupiter Wallingford Inquest Collection

Overview

The Jupiter Wallingford Inquest Collection is a curated set of scanned inquest documents from the New Haven County Superior Court. The collection is housed by the Connecticut State Library and is part of the broader NHSC BAAI (New Haven County Superior Court Files – Black, African American, and Indigenous) program. It consists of two high‑resolution TIFF images (RG003NHCCBAAIPSInquestsJupiterWallingford_001.tif and 002.tif) that have been OCR‑processed to provide searchable text. The materials are in English, publicly available, and are dated generically as “YYYY” pending further research.

Background

The New Haven County Superior Court has maintained an extensive record of inquests, many of which involve African American and Indigenous individuals. The Connecticut State Library’s NHSC BAAI project seeks to digitize and index these records, creating a searchable database of cases that illuminate the legal and social history of marginalized communities. The Jupiter Wallingford Inquest Collection is a subset of this effort, focusing specifically on the inquests related to an individual named Jupiter Wallingford. The collection is indexed by the NHSC BAAI Cases Papers Subject field, which assigns controlled subject headings to each case for easier retrieval.

Both files contain the full text of the inquest proceedings, including witness statements, legal arguments, and court findings. The OCR data allows keyword searches across the documents.

Scope

It focuses on legal proceedings involving Black, African American, and Indigenous individuals, contributing to the broader narrative of racial justice in Connecticut.

The geographic focus is New Haven County, Connecticut, United States, and the temporal span is unspecified beyond the “YYYY” placeholder.
