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.

“God save the Queen” perhaps needs no introduction, being the national anthem in England. Today they sing it to honor Queen Elizabeth but of course in the 1800s, they were honoring Queen Victorian who reigned from 1837 to 1901. “God save the Queen” was learned by all schoolchildren of the century. I think many must have enjoyed it: I have found it written into a schoolboy’s personal songbook and into the cover of a school songbook. Our kids learned it quickly, already knowing the tune to “My country ‘tis of thee” which early Americans co-opted from their British counterparts for their own national anthem.
