Launching Yellow Nineties 2.0: A Symposium & Celebration

Launching Yellow Nineties 2.0: A Symposium & Celebration marks the completion of Yellow Nineties 2.0 (external link) , an internationally acclaimed digital resource for the study of late-Victorian little magazines of art and literature. To celebrate this official launch, Toronto Metropolitan University’s Centre for Digital Humanities is hosting a hybrid Symposium on 18 April 2024.

The morning session will consist of two roundtables in which people who’ve contributed to Yellow Nineties 2.0 over the years will discuss its collaborative creation and open-access support of interdisciplinary research and teaching. An afternoon keynote by Dr. Constance Crompton, Canada Research Chair in Digital Humanities at the University of Ottawa, will address sustainable methods of “preserving what we’ve made” for the long-term accessibility of users around the world. An interactive session on Y90s Research Creation led by book artist and Y90s Project Manager Reg Beatty and textile artist and doctoral candidate Azadeh Monzavi will conclude the Symposium.

The Symposium is free and open to the public and can be attended in person or online via Zoom. For more information, and to register for the event, see Launching Yellow Nineties 2.0: https://cdh.rula.info/y90s-launch/ (external link)
