Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Then scrolls. Then the codex. The codex has endured through history since around the 2nd century A.D. By themselves, these codices thrived in areas like religion. Then, around 1450, the printing press came along. This new technology changed the codex forever. Fast forward to the present day, and the printing press seems tedious, even archaic. So how has the book changed since its inception to our ever-changing digital age? Take a look through each section in the table of contents to see how certain authors/artists have altered the book in incredibly varied ways to complement the diversity of the digital age.
