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.

They are gathered on the right side of a tall sand dune on the sandy beach. To the left, one woman sits on her right hip facing the viewer. She is wearing a towel around her waist. She lies her head on her right arm with her right hand wrapped around her head, touching her left ear. She faces forward. She lies on a rock, with her long hair underneath her arm. A second woman stands up in the upper right half of the image. She too wears a towel around her waist. Her back is to the viewer. We see from the back of her head that she has divided her long dark hair at the centre. Half is hanging down the front of her left side. She is using her hands to ring the water out of the hair on the right side. She holds the hair over her shoulder. Her right arm is fully visible. Her left hand is visible, gripping hair close to her head. A third woman is pictured in the lower right foreground. She is only visible from the waist up and like the other two, she is topless. The right side of her face is visible in three quarter profile but facing away from the viewer. Her hair is pulled over the front of her left shoulder, revealing her back to the viewer. She leans back on her arms folded near her waist behind her back. The sand dune where they lounge features thirteen small bushes of wildflowers scatted over it and between the three women. In the background, beyond the mound, the sandy beach, shore and ocean is visible. White waves hit the shore and seagulls fly in the air.
