Ross-shire and the Western Isles
Almost 10 million pages available - a great total and resource, but some counties (such as my own areas of interest, Ross-shire and the Western Isles) have yet to get off the mark. Can this be looked at so we have some basic coverage of the whole country? Thanks

Weekly Dispatch (London)
The largest circulating weekly paper of the 1830s through to the 1840s. Radical and widely read and read aloud in ale houses across England. The paper has not been digitised elsewhere and its lack of digital availability has marginalised its prominence in recent studies of the age of reform. BL's microfilm copies should be digitised.

Irish Newspapers prior to 1922.
As you probably know, the vast majority of the census returns, wills, parish records etc were destroyed in a fire in Dublin in 1922. This means that the only real source of finding information is through the newspapers. A searchable newspaper archive for the Irish newspapers prior to this date would be extremely useful

We now have over 130 titles for Ireland in the Archive and are close to having at title for every county. Our digitisation of newspapers for Ireland will continue.

More WW1 Local Newspapers
They often carried obituaries, with photos, of local casualties. As many service records have been destroyed, these can be the only detailed record of a soldier.

You are still claiming that you have put the Shetland Times 1872-85 online. You haven't. I wish you would!

Weston Mercury
I have been researching the history of Choral Music in Weston-super-Mare using your archived material which I am able to access on line. So far it has enabled me to form a picture of what it was like prior to 1950. One paper which may have been of assistance which was missing was the Weston Mercury (Weston-super-Mare)
