Peabody Essex Museum and SJC announce return of
Salem Witch documents
The Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) and the Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) of Massachusetts recently began the transfer of court documents from the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. PEM’s Phillips Library has been the temporary repository of this collection of 527 documents since 1980. The documents now return to the Judicial Archives following the expansion and modernization of the Massachusetts State Archives facility in Boston.
The SJC, the state’s highest appellate court, was founded in the wake of the Salem Witch Trials. The SJC is the oldest appellate court in continuous existence in the Western Hemisphere and operates under one of the oldest functioning written constitutions in the world.
