Database of Victorian Magazines

Victorian lit researchers, students and aficionados should take a look at this database of Victorian Magazines: The 1890's Online.

From their site description:

"The 1890s Online is an electronic resource dedicated to the study of fin-de-siècle literature and culture from the perspective of the period’s innovative magazines. We publish facsimile editions of selected periodicals, together with paratexts of production and reception. This material is enhanced by two kinds of peer-reviewed commentary: biographies of the periodicals’ contributors and associates and critical essays on the material by experts in the field. The 1890s Online is a digital initiative supported by the Ryerson University Library."

Resources on the site includes facsimiles of The Yellow Book, as well as reviews from the 1890's, scholarly commentary and a bibliography.
