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.

The contents of this Spring Book-essays and
stories, lyric and ballad
THE EVERGREEN
verse, pictures and decorations—are grouped into four sections, Spring
in
Nature, Spring in Life, Spring in the World, and Spring in the North.
Three
out of the four sections indicate the comprehensive purposes of
the new
serial, and will be found to represent many varieties of subject,
standpoint, and even nationality. The remaining group-Spring in the
North-is an expression of that local association and personal comrade-
ship
in which every new school and movement begins. The book has
taken form
among a group of younger Scottish writers and painters,
students and men of
science, whom historic sympathies and common
aims are bringing back to Old
Edinburgh. Among the many associations
of the historic houses amid which
they are making their homes, may be
mentioned one which has special
relevance to the present venture, viz.,
that with Allan Ramsay, who edited
and published, in 1724, an earlier
‘Evergreen,' aiming at a return to local
tradition and living nature.
Another characteristic note lies in the revival of Celtic ornament and
design, which will be a special feature in the decoration of the book.
