Retail Chemist 1930s to 1960s
Can find nothing relating to this magazine on the internet. This is available to order from the British Library but not everyone is able to visit. There is too little on this site relating to the retail trade, especially chemists.

The Express, London , published 1 Sept 1846 - 10 April 1869
It seems to have been a paper that others in London and around Britain took stories from - they were evidently the first with the news. It would be very useful to have in the Archive

North Berks Herald and Abingdon Herald Series
North Berks Herald and also the Abingdon Herald series which published versions for Wantage, Wallingford and Didcot.
These papers are already held in Oxfordshire libraries on micro-film. I use a viewer at Abingdon Library, but it would be so much easier if they were available on the British Newspaper Archive.18 votes -
Women's Gazette and Weekly News
Published 1888-91 for the Women's Liberal Association; edited by Eliza Orme, LlB. Reports of local WLA meetings throughout Britain, with lots of names and connections. Suffrage, Liberal party issues, especially Irish land law and Home Rule. The editor, first woman in England with a law degree, had a distinguished public career and WGWN is a vital source for recovering her story.

I would like to see Answers - shelf mark LOU.LD112 - digitised. It was marketed as "Britain's National Journal" and has lots of interesting material, particularly in the 1950s!

Motoring News
There is tremendous world interest in the history of motor racing in Britain: the cars, drivers, race results, rallying, etc etc. Motoring News was an excellent weekly publication throughout the 20th century, the best of its type.

The Picture Times
The Picture Times of c.1855-6 - very short lived, amalgamated with Illustrated Times but valuable for Crimean War and has rare engravings etc. Would give anything to be able to access it for my latest book.

Liverpool Courier
As we have seen, Liverpool papers are not adequately represented. The Liverpool Courier was one of the main papers during the early 20th century. The Liverpool Daily Post from 1914 to 1930 would also be an important and useful addition.

The Liskeard Gazette/Western Herald
The Liskeard Gazette and the The Western Herald (which incorporated The Liskeard Gazette from October 1874). Apart from my personal interest, having ancestors that appeared in articles in the paper, I believe it covers quite a wide area in Cornwall. It also spans quite a wide time range.

The Builder
The Builder was first published in 1843 and under the editorship of George Godwin (1844-83) it developed into "the most important and successful professional paper of its kind with a readership well beyond the architectural and building world". It featured not only landmark buildings – with fabulous illustrations – but also articles on more practical aspects of the building trade, sanitation and so on. Further background here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_(magazine)Some issues of The Builder are available online (http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/serial?id=builder) but many are not searchable. It would be wonderful if the British Newspaper Archive could spearhead a campaign to bring together…
