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.

First, we pushed the first people further and further away from the coast as we expanded our settlements and clear cut forests to make farms. Then there was the extinction of the buffalo because white people wanted their furs and tongues. then there were the gold mines in the Black Hills. We can't take any of it back or undo it, but we can take care not to continue repeating the mistakes of yesteryear.
