Description

Jack Inquest Collection

Overview

The Jack Inquest Collection is a digital archive of two high‑resolution TIFF scans of inquest documents from the New Haven County Superior Court. The collection is part of the Connecticut State Library’s New Haven County Superior Court Files Project (NHSC), which focuses on preserving and making accessible records related to Black, African American, and Indigenous history in the county. The materials are held in the public domain and are available for research and educational use.

Background

The NHSC project, funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, aims to digitize and describe court records from New Haven County, with a special emphasis on cases involving African American and Indigenous individuals. The Jack Inquest Collection falls under the BAAI (Black, African American, and Indigenous) sub‑project and is catalogued under the subject index “Nhsc Baai Cases Papers Subject.” The collection was created in an unspecified year (“YYYY”) and is housed by the Connecticut State Library.

Contents

The collection contains two TIFF images:
  • RG003NHSCBAAIPSInquestsJack001.tif (≈54 MB)
  • RG003NHSCBAAIPSInquestsJack002.tif (≈56 MB)

Both files are high‑resolution scans of legal documents that record the proceedings of an inquest involving a person named Jack. The documents are in English and include detailed court transcripts, witness statements, and official findings. The scans are accompanied by metadata that identifies the collection, creator, and subject headings, but no OCR text is available.

Scope

The Jack Inquest Collection covers a single inquest case from New Haven County, Connecticut. It is limited to the two scanned pages and does not include related docket entries, case files, or ancillary records. The collection is geographically confined to New Haven County and temporally limited to the date of the inquest, which is not specified in the metadata. The subject focus is legal documentation of an inquest, with a particular emphasis on the historical context of Black, African American, and Indigenous individuals in the county’s judicial system.
