Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you into some good news – Faversham Times and Mercury and North-East Kent Journal fits our inclusion criteria. We have researched the BL catalogue and it is available to us for digitisation. We have added the following years to our Digitisation Plan: 1939-1950Please 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.
Best wishes,

News of the World
Some may laugh but the NoW is an invaluable source of extra information regarding court cases in particular, providing colour and additional background information on the protagonists. Don't underestimate its value to the historian/researcher - whether amateur or professional. If you don't believe me then compare and contrast a Times report with the same case in the NoW.
I'm especially keen for access to the archive from the early half of the 20th century.

In addition, we have also just added the Scunthorpe Evening Telegraph 1937-1950 to the plan.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.

Thank you for your suggestion. We have investigated the availability of the Lincolnshire Free Press – The good news (pun intended!) is that 1. It is in scope for us and 2. It appears to be available to us as microfilm. So . . . we have added this to our digitisation plan for future digitisation!
Best wishes,

Beverley Guardian
Beverley Guardian/Advertiser would be terrific as it covered lots of news for the East Riding of Yorkshire areas that wasn't always covered in other papers such as the Hull Daily Mail
63 votesOpen - Added to digitisation plan · AdminThe British Newspaper Archive (Head of Data Development, The British Newspaper Archive) respondedGood news – The Beverley Guardian fits our inclusion criteria! We have researched the BL catalogue and it is available to us for digitisation. This title is only available to scan from the original paper (i.e. has not been previously microfilmed). Due to the British library’s move of the physical paper archive from Colindale to the custom built storage unit in Boston Spa, the paper is under embargo and we cannot digitise from paper until the new year. However, the good news is that we have the following years on our Digitisation Plan: 1856-1871.
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.

Bath & Cheltenham Gazette
1853 and 1854 are missing completely from the library in Bath, but you have these two years, I believe.
