Hampshire Chronicle
Very frustrating that the pages for the Hants Chronicle end at 1830. To be of full use the pages from 1831-1918 would be a great addition.

Any Hawick paper
For a long time you had no papers published in the Scottish Borders. You've now added the Southern Reporter, thank you, but this provides very little coverage of news in Hawick, the region's largest town then. Please add one of the Hawick papers, like the Hawick News, to plug this gap. Thank you.

Hopefully you will have seen that the Hawick News has been making it’s way on to the site as we digitise it. You can access it directly here: http://bit.ly/1DDUI2dBest wishes,
Team BNA
Hi Vivienne, Thank you for your feedback. We have investigated the possibility of inclusion. Good news – The Hawick News is within scope for inclusion as we have an agreement with the publisher. It was published from 1889.
We have added the following years to our Digitisation Plan: 1889-1951
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.
Best wishes,
Team BNA

Dorset County Chronicle
The Dorset coverage is very odd – the Sherborne Mercury is available for 1789-1867, but it’s subtitled the Western Flying Post and the Yeovil Mercury, and is clearly focused on northern Dorset and Somerset.
The newspaper produced in Dorset’s market town (Dorchester) was the Dorset County Chronicle, but there are ONLY five years’ worth (1863-67) of issues on the British Newspaper Archives site.
Dorchester was the legal, political, trade and administrative capital of the county and the Dorset County Chronicle would be the best newspaper for tracing the county’s history. The Chronicle was published from 1824.

Nottingham Review
This is an important regional newspaper in the period 1811-1817, the period of the Luddite uprisings, and it's inclusion on this website before the bicentenary ends is vital! It's proprietor, Charles Sutton, was convicted of libelling the Crown in 1816 & jailed.

norfolk/suffolk local papers, especially from Lowestoft.
Henrik Ibsen's unknown grandson was rescued by Lowestoft fishermen during the great gale of november 1893. Actually it would be a great idea to add issues of all british newspapers from about 18th to 25th of november 1893 to uncover all ov the drama this gale cost. Hundreds of lives were lost, and lots of heroism unfolded.
