Thank 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,
Team BNA

Suffolk Chronicle
This was the local paper which the poor read to each other in the early nineteenth century, and has a different angle to the 'establishment' Ipswich Journal and Bury and Norwich Post. It contains a lot of information which the other two don't, or that they look at with a very different bias

Middlesex Advertiser and Gazette
This long-running local paper covered a large, densely-populated area of West Middlesex and neighbouring Buckinghamshire. If digitised it would be a invaluable resource for researchers, local people and family historians with connections to the area.

Morning Advertiser - licensed trade newspaper
For those with ancestors who were licensed victuallers, this newspaper is invaluable. It began in 1794 and by the mid 19th century was the second highest circulating newspaper after The Times. Charles Dickens was an early contributor. It gives details of pubs changing hands, deaths of pub landlords and elections to Licensed Victuallers Homes (retirement homes for pub landlords & their families - an early example of occupational welfare). Please give this serious consideration as it covers an important occupational group. The newspapers are already scanned by the British Library.
