Manchester Weekly Times
I'd love to see the weekly version of the Manchester Times added, particularly in the 1870s and 1880s, as I think it's interesting to study regional syndication of serialization of Victorian novels, which happened around this time.

The Oban Times
While accessing newspapers online for historical research is advantageous, there are disadvantages. Not all years for the Oban Times newspapers have been digitised. Its reportage provides insight into the influences effecting change as Oban developed during the 1870s.

More Scottish borders newspapers
There is a big gap in the 1890's for the Berwickshire News (1893-1900) and the The Berwick Advertiser (1893 -1896 and 1898 - 1903). These papers cover a wide area around the Borders with news from both England and Scotland. A very rich source of information.

Midland Reporter and Westmeath Nationalist
The Midland Reporter and Westmeath Nationalist was a newspaper which circulated in Westmeath, in the Irish Midlands, from the 1890s to the late 1930s. Owned by Roscommon newspaper publisher Jasper Tully, during the Irish revolutionary period it was, unlike its direct rival the Westmeath Examiner, the primary bullhorn for the advanced nationalist and Sinn Féin point of view. It provided a platform for the radical nationalist MP, Laurence Ginnell, who was the organiser of the Ranch War, the last major outbreak of agrarian agitation in Ireland before independence.
As the Westmeath Examiner is available online elsewhere, the availability of the…
