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.

She gathered up a group of volunteers and began the ambitious project to photograph each and every letter sent to Newtown. This endeavor started at the town hall but later expanded to a donated storefront, dubbed the Newtown Healing Arts Center, which operated in the spring and early summer of 2013, for a total of six months.
Her project culminated in a website of photographs of the letters, called Embracing Newtown.
"The project, really is about sharing love. It's not so much a project of archiving and documenting and historical documents.
I consider this, and then the space that we hold doing this project as standing in love. Love came to us and we're spreading it out again and just sharing it with everyone in the world."
