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.

A new quarterly has made its appearance this month. It is entitled the Evergreen. It is quaintly got up, and has its distinctive character stamped legibly upon every page. Its authors see against the background of the Decadence the vaguely growing lines of a picture of New Birth. The Yellow Book is Decadence, the Evergreen is the New Birth. Mr. Patrick Geddes is its prophet, and the four chords of the music of the Rena- scence are: (1) That faith may be had still in the friendliness of our fellows; (2) that the love of country is not a lost cause; (3) that the love of women is the way of life, and (4) that in the eternal newness of every child is an undying promise for the race. The Evergreen is the organ of Faith, Hope, and Charity. And that I suppose is the excuse for its illustration. They need charity. They make us hope they will speedily be suc- ceeded by others as unlike them as possible, and they subject our faith to a severe test by asking us not to believe they are the offspring of Beardsleyism and of Decadence.
