The Tatler after 1966
I think the Tatler on the BNA could do with an extension - its low point around 1974 would be illustrative of the upper classes' low ebb at that moment amid fears (although of course also other people's hopes) of permanent socialism, and its revival in the early 1980s would be an instructive picture of their recovery from that near-death experience (the 'Sloane Ranger' era).

The Football Times
Currently kept at Inverness Library as part of the Inverness Advertiser, collection this newspaper would be an excellent addition to the archives as an essential research tool for sports historian in the Highlands. A Saturday newspaper, it was a key publication for many decades for sports followers, especially football covering leagues and achievements in around the Highland region.

It doesn't look like the British Library have this title in their collection. We have added the earlier titles, The Eye-Witness (1911–1912) & The New Witness (1912–1923), to our digitisation plan. If we are able to locate suitable holdings for G.K.'s Weekly we will do our best to include them too.

The Critic
Can I suggest the Critic, which was the Private Eye of its day. It began life as the African Critic and was originally based in South Africa. It moved to London around 1898. Its editor Henry Hess had a splendid disregard for the libel law and exposed a number of financial frauds. He was frequently sued. A new editor took over in around 1905 and although the magazine became less edgy it could still publish hard-hitting exposes. It ceased publication in about 1915. I believe the British Library has a complete run of the magazine.

The Egyptian Gazette
Until 1952, this was a British paper published in Egypt. Contains all sorts of information on British society abroad, and on Egypt as a tourist destination for European society. It would be great to be able to access this and other colonial papers.
The whole run is available at the British library!

All early UK newspapers
Whilst its great that you keep adding new newspapers to the archive, I have noticed that all of them for some time now have been fairly modern papers ie 20th century. It would be great to see a drive to add all of UK's earliest newspapers for every county. Many start in the early 1700s, and would be far more useful for my research, and afterall shouldn't we be saving very old newspapers first for posterity before they disappear?

Shields Weekly News
You have very good (though not complete) coverage of the (NORTH) Shields Daily News (under its changing names) right up to 21 August 1959 when it ceased to be a daily paper. The final edition of the paper in your archive has, handwritten on the top of the front page, 'Last issue of this paper. Continued as Shields Gazette', That is incorrect. The Gazette is a quite different SOUTH Shields paper.
The fact that there was a proprietorial link between the North and South Shields newspapers (owned by Northern Press at the time) might explain the confusion but there is…6 votes -

Dorking and Leatherhead Advertiser
I'm researching the history of brass and silver bands in the Dorking and Leatherhead area. The files for the Dorking and Leatherhead Advertiser series appears to have a gap between 1951 and 1968. This seriously hampers the work I'm doing. Please fill this gap.
