Devon Newspapers
You have some Devon papers, but currently your coverage is very patchy. I'm looking for a family in the first half of the C.20th in the Torbay area, but coming up empty. There are many, many Devon titles available, according to this link…

North-East Papers
More north-eastern papers - adding the Darlington and Stockton times, the Evening Gazette (which served the Middlesbrough area and surrounding areas), and a lot more years for the Northern Echo, would help to build up more of a picture for the north-east.

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.

St. James's Gazette: An Evening Review and Record of News (1880–1905)
This paper's contributors included J. M. Barrie (helping him make his name), Edmund Gosse, Sidney Low, and Margaret Oliphant. I constantly find it cited for reviews of late-Victorian books, but I have a lot of trouble finding the reviews and reading them.
0 votesSharin,
Thank you for getting in touch. We are super keen to include the St. James’s Gazette in the British Newspaper Archive project. So, the good news is that it is on our digitisation plan! As you can imagine we have a huge list to digitise. We will scan this as soon as possible. Please do keep an eye on the site!Best wishes,

Daily Telegraph
The Daily Telegraph's own archive only goes back to 1990. I'm particularly interested in Arts reviews - including TV and Radio - from the 1970s.

Sports titles
Hi - Delighted to see the Sports Argus up recently and wonder if more sports-based material is planned? From a selfish point of view I'd ask for the Sheffield Green 'Un (which does cover a wide swathe of Yorkshire & NE Midlands) but also suggest the Athletic News as a more general, historical source. Keep up the good work!

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.

Kenilworth Weekly News
The paper will be useful in showing the expansion and social changes in a rural community. Kenilworth was a small town of historical merit relying on agriculture & small local industry. The town expanded with the growth of nearby Coventry.
