Contents: |
The collection consists of two affidavits regarding the importation and sales of enslaved people. Sworn and sealed July 3,
1801, Camden County, Georgia, signed "David Garvin", the first affidavit respects the sale of six enslaved people (delivered
in the year 1799) to John Kinnard [sic]. The second affidavit (3 pages in length) dated August 26, 1801, Savannah, consists
of testimony of Savannah slave traders Hector Mitchell and Mr. Gairdner, who swore that "sometime in the year [1797] a parcel
of [thirty-six enslaved people] was picked up at sea." Mitchell and Gairdner, agents for John and James McBurney, the fugitives'
owners, had the runaways put in jail; an ordinance of the Savannah city council arranged their sale to David Garvin. This
statement goes on to mention that John Kinnard is now the legal owner of six of the [thirty-six enslaved people] named in
the earlier affidavit of July 3.

West, Thomas McKee |

Contents: |
The collection consists of copies of documents, textual and audio, accumulated during Thomas M. West's successful challenge
- in the case of Timothy Dawson vs. The State of Georgia - to the state of Georgia's law prescribing death by electrocution
in the electric chair in death penalty cases. This includes fifteen digital copies of 22 Georgia electrocutions of prisoners
between 1983 and 1996. These recordings are copies of West's tapes which were themselves dubs of original tapes recorded by
members of the state's Department of Corrections for their own records, and later subpoenaed and entered into state court
records as part of challenges to the electric chair statute. In addition, the collection includes copies of materials (transcripts,
documents, affidavits, autopsy records, etc.) West and his co-counsel Robert Citronberg had accumulated to date of donation
(August 2004) in support of legal challenges to the Georgia statute prescribing lethal injection as the new means of state
execution.
