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.

We make history in a variety of forms, many of which are designed to bring the people, places, and events to life for the modern reader. To this end, this section contains three sample "poetic engagements" where we've taken a more creative approach to sharing parts of this history.
If you'd like to explore our three sample poetic engagements, you can click on the links below that will take you on a small side path within this digital book. The site will reconnect you to the next section once you're finished. We would love to hear if these are useful to you and if you have any ideas about other creative approaches we might utilize.
