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.

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

Fort William Times about 1898 only two years which are in a very poor state but covers the Highland Regionan interesting time
It was only published for about two years which are in a very poor state at the BL collection. It covers a wide area of the Highlands at an interesting time for the area. Being a small publication it might be missed out but surely we should be looking at regional papers as well as the large cities? It is on microfilm but the public have no access to this and moving the originals around the country to the BL reading rounds will be difficult due to it's condition.

shetland times
There is a microfilm in the Shetland Archives. Because of the emigration from Shetland, this would appeal to people from around the world.

This is my local paper and its back numbers are used by myself and many other local historians as it holds a wealth of information on the area around Hemel Hempstead frm 1850. It is still published.

We have researched the BL catalogue and it is available to us for digitisation. We have added the following years to our Digitisation Plan: 1867-1899
We are looking forward to digitising this!
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.
