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.

Professor GEDDES is to be congratulated upon a charming idea, prettily carried out. True, The Evergreen, a Northern Seasonal" (1895, published in the Lawnmarket of Edinburgh by Patrick Geddes and colleagues, and in London by T. Fisher Unwin), is a trifle affected, and the writers and artists are all a shade too clever, but the ensemble is delightful. The type is fine, the ink of the blackest, and the printing what we look for from Messrs. Constable. Mr. JOHN DUNCAN'S decoration is of a high, if Beardsleyan, order throughout. Mr. ROBERT BURNS is successful in "Natura Naturans," though the same cannot be said for "The Casket." Mr. C. H. MACKIE's design for the cover of embossed old calf is quaint and curious, though hardly beautiful. The keynote of the whole volume is a sturdy one of Hope and Renascence. In a word, "Patrick Geddes and Colleagues" seem to see, against the background of decadence, the vaguely growing lines of a picture of New Birth. Let us hope that this is no illusion. We look forward with interest to the further "seasonals" of "Autumn," "Summer," and " Winter," which are to appear at intervals of six months.
