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.

What different types of camps were developed to house these prisoners and how did they evolve as the war progressed? What ethnic groups were incarcerated in WWII and why were the Japanese and Japanese Americans singled out for incarceration during WWII? Then focus specifically on the War Relocation Authority Camps where people of Japanese descent were incarcerated. What made Tule Lake different? Explore and discuss the differences in the camp population and treatment of the prisoners (working conditions, security, detention facilities, etc.).
