Navigating notes
Clicking on that link will open a popup that displays the citation and a link to "Go to note." In some cases the window also displays information about the person to whom the information is attributed.
Clicking on the "Go to note" link will take you to the page for that source in the Sources section. The sources for this project are under copyright or have restricted access, so they themselves do not appear on the page. On some pages there is also additional information about the nature of the source. At the bottom of a note page is a list of all the pages that use the source and a link to the context of the source, for example, the source page for the newspaper in which a story was published, the archival collection in which a document was found or the book of which a cited page is part. As most sets of sources are cited more often than Scalar is designed to accommodate, the links to their contexts have been added manually: rather than a tag linking the source back to its context, there is a link in the page formatted as an indented text as in the example below. When an individual source is cited extensively, citations to it appear as a link rather than a note, and pages citing the source will appear as a list of links in the body of the page not as tags below it.
In the case of sets of sources that are not extensively cited, tags are used to link to the context of sources rather than links formatted as indented text, as in the example below:
Clicking on the link to the context of the source will take you to the Sources page for that set of documents. In the case of the first example, the page for the Afro-American newspaper links to a page for "Newspapers" with links to the pages for all the newspapers used in the site and a link to the "Sources" page that appears in the table of contents.
