Abstract: Formerly known as the ‘Frontier Justice Collection’, the Territorial Court Case Files for the Washington Territory (1853–1889) are not only some of the most important records held by the Washington State Archives, but also some of the most fragile. This paper describes the multi-year process of digitising these records and sharing them online.
