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.

Today, there are approximately 37 museums around the world that showcase cartoon art with regularity. Academic research within the field of cartooning is also common at the collegiate level. Cartoon learning and research centers such as the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum at The Ohio State University and the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa, California. Institutions such as these allow for the preservation and protection of historical and influential cartoon works, which is important for certain topics within art history and beyond. Other museums such as the Museum of Comic Art (MoCA) in the Netherlands, Cartoon Art Museum in California, and The Cartoon Museum in London, England, all serve the purpose of keeping the legacy of comics alive, and providing a space where comics can be appreciated.
