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.

Greetings and a warm welcome to the Kindred Blackness Museum!
We are delighted to have you here with us in our futuristic imaginative in-person and virtual museum.Please take a moment to explore our exclusive collection and immerse yourself in the experience. Our museum, the Kindred Blackness Museum project, is located in Iaville, Philadelphia, a spacethat showcases the archival practices of African American artists from the all-Black city. These artists, both visual and literary, represent their strong connections to the city, community, and its legacy. Leading the curation is Alain LeRoy Locke, a bold philosopher, writer, and community architect of the Harlem Renaissance.
The Kindred Blackness Museum project is a museum that features a community art map, research, and AI-powered technologies such as text mining, data, information as art, and web archiving. The museum's goal is to provide a platform for creativity and experiences that inspire the African American community to preserve their history through data stories and information presented in various creative ways using technology. It is an excellent resource for anyone interested in African American art, literature, data, and space. Join in and visit the museum 365 daily. Our doors are open to all who seek knowledge.
