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 Denver Public Library Western History Archives also helped to provide a number of images and helpful information for the project. The online archive Colorado Historic Newspapers Collection helped us track down pdf versions of newspapers we found referenced in other media or found scraps of in the Rawlings Library Archives. We had the opportunity to take our own photographs of hospital equipment and imagery at the Colorado State Hospital Museum, which is open every Tuesday.

Thank you, to the staff at the Pueblo County Western History Archives, for allowing us to look though the useful archives of the State Hospital and push our project into the right direction, and for being my Main recourse to this project. Also, a thank you to the manager at the Colorado State Hospital Museum, she allowed us to walk around freely as we took a look at all of their primary sources that had been put on display for the public to see. I also want to take a minute to thank my partner Alex as he helped greatly in getting the project where it is.
