NINES was founded in 2004-2005 to serve the needs of scholars who were already experimenting with new technologies in their research. Established scholars were finishing large projects such as the William Blake Archive, the Rossetti Archive and the Walt Whitman Archive, but they found that there were few methods for sharing and advertising their ideas with other scholars online. How could a user know if a site were reputable? How could a scholar get credit for work done in a medium other than print?
Sites that get the NINES stamp of approval are brought together in our Search interface. Want to find the best new work in nineteenth-century studies online? Browse through the peer-reviewed projects to see sites built by scholars and librarians across the world. Or, search by keyword or name, and get results from all kinds of online resources - some of which have freely available content, while others require subscription.
What are some of the issues involved in peer review of online material? What new questions must scholars ask of work done in this medium?

Hi Dana,
I am interested in the question you raise because I don't quite understand the role editors play at NINES. Do they verify credibility and hyper-text markup? Or do they evaluate strong interpretative arguments? Further, what is the role of NINES contributors? Do they provide credible entries with good mark up? Do they publish arguments?
Best,
Jason
