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.

The Pennsylvania Gazetterepresents one of the most prominent newspapers in colonial America, printed by Benjamin Franklin himself. Given Franklin’s active role in the Paxton debate, his paper offers a backdrop against which to read his arguments and to measure changes in colonial settlement policy.
The Gazetteoffers a rich, weekly record of affairs within in the colony and across the Atlantic. The publication traverses the Paxton print debate (1763-64) and situates that massacre in a wider context of indigenous warfare.
The 22 issues that we have digitized span from Pontiac’s Rebellion (June 9, 1763) through the 1764 election results (December 27, 1764).
We have currently digitized 22 issues of the Pennsylvania Gazette, arranged chronologically in the path below "Contents."
