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.

In the anniversary of that catastrophic event, many are still working hard to recover. Besides the activities to commemorate the up hill battle Puerto Ricans have endured, we seek efforts in fundraising: #Ricanstruction and Latinxs in Kid Lit (one of many); to help community libraries rebuild their collections. Also, international forums have provided a space to talk about the recovery activities. Furthermore, colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania have presented their collaboration with the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap.
