Hednesford Advertiser
More local newspapers. When researching Families these are invaluable. The Nationals are ok but rarely helps with family History

The Fife Free Press and The Glenrothes Gazette
The Fife Free Press would be very popular here because not only does it cover the largest town in Fife but also lot's of town's and villages surrounding Kirkcaldy.The Glenrothes Gazette although only been in print since the 1950's would be of great interest to residents of Fife's newest large town and also the surrounding villages.
16 votesGary,
Thank you for your suggestion. The good news is that The Fife Free Press, & Kirkcaldy Guardian. fits with our criteria for inclusion. 1900 – 1945 have been added to our digitisation plan. Hurrah!
Please note that due to a huge number of titles and years on our digitisation plan, it is extremely difficult for us to say when the first issue will make it through the ‘digitisation sausage machine’ and on to the British Newspaper Archive.Regarding, the Glenrothes Gazette, unfortunately due to copyright and IPR restrictions (and that’s provided we have an agreement in place with the publisher!), we can currently only digitise up to the early 1950s. For that reason, we’ll have to leave out the Glenrothes Gazette as a possibility for digitisation.
Best wishes,
Team BNA

Newspapers from the St. Helens, Warrington & Wigan area.
This area of South West Lancashire has over 750,000 inhabitants but no local newspaper coverage in the archive. The Manchester & Liverpool newspapers are great for the regional picture but poor on local stories.

Derbyshire Times - More editions
1914-1918 editions where possible. Ive searched on microfitch in my local library and found a huge amount of my village information for the WW1 so I know there is more than is on line...
50 votesThank you for your feedback. For this newspaper, we have the following titles in, or planned for, our digital archive:
1854–1903 The Derbyshire Times and Chesterfield Herald
1903–63 The Derbyshire Times, etc.Unfortunately much of the post 1900 material is only available as the original paper copy from the British Library. Whilst they move the collection from Colindale to Boston Spa, paper is in embargo. We are looking forward to scanning from paper again in the new year!
Best wishes,

187 votesHi, A quick update – we have added the Dudley Herald to our Digitisation Plan for future digitisation!
Thanks for your votes. There’s obviously a gap in the West Midlands / Black Country – we’ll start seeing what we can do about it!

Beverley Guardian
Beverley Guardian/Advertiser would be terrific as it covered lots of news for the East Riding of Yorkshire areas that wasn't always covered in other papers such as the Hull Daily Mail
63 votesGood news – The Beverley Guardian fits our inclusion criteria! We have researched the BL catalogue and it is available to us for digitisation. This title is only available to scan from the original paper (i.e. has not been previously microfilmed). Due to the British library’s move of the physical paper archive from Colindale to the custom built storage unit in Boston Spa, the paper is under embargo and we cannot digitise from paper until the new year. However, the good news is that we have the following years on our Digitisation Plan: 1856-1871.
Please be aware that until we have received the material into our studio and checked it, it is not possible to guarantee that it will be digitised.
