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.

Our project is primarily focused on finding new ways to understand Malamud by looking at these letters from a distance, so the metadata connected to each letter is just as important as the content of the letters themselves. This metadata describes where letters were sent from, who sent and received the letter, whether the letter was typewritten or handwritten, and the provenance of the letter - which archive currently holds the physical letter. In the future, we hope to add relationship status detailing how each correspondent knew Malamud, using categories such as "family," "friend," "publisher," "fan," and "university administration." We could then use this data to color the network nodes and graph pins to better show clusters of correspondents; hypothetically, these colors could show that Malamud's publishing contacts were all based in New York, while his fans were spread out across the nation.
This page contains a path with all of Malamud's correspondents for which we have letters. Click through to a specific correspondent to find another path with all of the letters sent by the contact to Malamud, and in some occasions, to other correspondents that are also part of the letter network. Correspondents that were historically significant enough to leave a digital, Internet-searchable record also have short biographies and often include headshot images.
