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.

This is the opening letter of a detailed report on the housing shortages in the Central Valley, California and the return of Japanese Americans from the incarceration camps. It describes the impact of Japanese Americans losing their homes during the incarceration period as well as the lingering anti-Japanese sentiment of many community members. Some Japanese Americans were disillusioned about losing their possessions to thieves and didn't trust the WRA when they promised to assist them with returning home. The report also describes other minorities moving into the housing formerly occupied by Japanese Americans and the charity organizations that were helping during the rescission.
