Our editorial method is informed by social-text editing principles. By “text” we mean
verbal and visual printed material, including non-referential physical elements such as
bindings, page layouts, and ornaments. We view any text as the outcome of collaborative
processes that have specific manifestations at precise historical moments.
The Yellow Nineties Online publishes facsimile editions of a select collection of fin-de-
siècle aesthetic periodicals, together with paratexts of production and reception such as
cover designs, advertising materials, and reviews. This historical material is enhanced
by two kinds of peer-reviewed scholarly commentary: biographies of the periodicals’
contributors and associates; and critical introductions to each title and volume by
experts in the field. All scholarly material on the site is vetted by the editor(s) and peer-
reviewed by them and/or an international board of advisors. The site as a whole is peer-
reviewed by NINES (Networked Infrastructure for Nineteenth-Century Electronic
Scholarship). Contributors to the site retain personal copyright in their material. The
site is licensed with a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0
license. Both primary and secondary materials, including all visual images, are marked
up in TEI- (Textual-Encoding Initiative) compliant XML (Extensible Markup
Language). To ensure maximum flexibility for users, magazines are available on the site
as virtual objects (facsimiles) in FlipBook form; in HTML for online reading; in PDF for
downloading and collecting; and in XML for those who wish to review and/or adapt our
tag sets. In order to make ornamental devices, such as initial letters, head- and tail-
pieces, searchable, we have developed a Database of Ornament in OMEKA, and linked it
to the relevant pages of each magazine edition. As a dynamic structure, a scholarly
website is always in process; Phase One of The Yellow Nineties Online (2010-2015) is
completed and Phase Two (2016-2021) is underway.
