With the arrest of Rosa Parks in 1955, the Montgomery bus boycott electrified the struggle against segregation. It was all recorded in appeals bonds, court motions and $10 fines. Such documents were recently found by an intern during a housecleaning project at the Montgomery County courthouse. The fragile papers, filled in with sharp signatures and characters stamped out on manual typewriters, are part of what officials believe is the largest surviving trove of legal records from the boycott. Although historians do not believe these​ documents contain anything to alter the well-established story of the bus boycott, the new collection appears to hold some leads and fine-grained details for researchers studying what happened in Alabama’s capital. Some records from that time, like booking photographs and the police report documenting Ms. Parks’s arrest, were made public long ago. But in recent weeks archivists have been poring over the trove of records. The circuit clerk, Tiffany B. McCord, sequestered the documents in a safe in her own office until she could decide what should become of them, showing them to only a handful of courthouse denizens. She said she considered loaning the collection to the @nmaahc, but concluded that the records should stay in Montgomery, and that her office would need to recruit outside experts to salvage them. @audramelton photographed Tiffany in the courthouse basement where the records were stored.
