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.
