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.

Thus, whether you are an university student looking to find comprehensive study materials about this particular topic categorised in chronological order, a professor looking for quality conversation for your lecture preparation, a researcher particularly interested in specific events relevant to the topic, or just an history enthusiast interested in looking through historical photographs that document this event, you will find your personalised way of going through this multimedia book.
In the book text you will find links leading from important names of events, people or artefacts to additional content about them via annotations, images, videos or audio recordings from that historical period. In this way, you will fully experience and understand connections between particular events and historical resources available on this site.
Therefore, feel free to choose one of the following paths, according to your interests and enjoy moving through the content flexibly, thanks to the capabilities of the Scalar platform:
