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.

The Wisconsin Historical Society has a great archive to find primary and secondary sources about all things beer. From their website I was able to start tracking down sources through the Library of Congress. I found a great deal of media on both sites and this project relied hevily on these images. I found a blog from the Atlantic that further guided my research on the history of beer gardens. The remaining research was very basic historical research on anti-German sentiment, temperance, and prohibition.
