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.

Multiple pins for the same location get lost in overlapping one another. We therefore had to work outside scalar for a map visualization that better showcases letter density in a single location. We include this map as a rough draft, so to speak, to demonstrate what limitations we encountered while building this project and how we looked to correct them.
