The Star in the East

The Universe
The Universe, also known as The Catholic Universe, was one of three major Catholic newspapers alongside The Tablet and The Catholic Herald. The archives of the other two publications already exist online in a searchable format, but The Universe only exists in the BL Archives now, and the original publication has since gone out of business so finding archive material from them is now impossible. This would be increasingly useful and important as we approach the anniversary of Catholic Emancipation in 2029, and a possible Papal Visit coinciding with this anniversary.

Rotherham Advertiser
I cannot understand why you are adding numerous specialist titles but have still not done this title apart from the year 1910. It is the only continuous publication for this large industrial town, from 1858 to the present. Some news items are found in two Sheffield titles, but not all. I know you have it because the library purchased microfilm from you at an early date (1970s?) and did not hold hard copies of 1858-77 until 2-3 years ago when the Advertiser emptied its store.
