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.

On the Island, the first panel about the impact of Hurricane Maria in cultural and educational institutions is coordinated by the Asociación de Egresados de la Escuela de Bibliotecología y Ciencias de la Información (ASEGRABCI) with representatives from museum, archives and libraries. The final report from the National Hurricane Center about Maria is released and three more workshops related to emergency preparedness and preservation of collections are offered.
The Island, almost seven months after Hurricane Maria, experienced another blackout. Interestingly enough, it happened the same day (April 18) that the NEH was giving a webinar about opportunities to apply for a preservation grant which had a special call for institutions that were affected that year by the natural disaster. We also start seeing announcements of grants awarded to institutions by the Society of American Archivist, Beta-Local and other initiatives aiding in the recovery process.
