Birmingham Daily Mail 1874
Aston Villa was effectively formed when four men made the decision to play soccer not rugger. This took place under a gas lamp at the top of Heathfield Road at Villa Cross. Shortly after that decision Aston Villa played its first ever game of football against St Mary’s, Aston Brook. In 1924 a former Villa player who was there under the lamp when the decision was made, said the match report appeared in the Birmingham Daily Mail. But another report, much closer to the event, published in 1887 suggests that the game took place in the latter part of the…

Birmingham Daily Gazette April 1887
One paper of the above contains the match report for the1887 FA Cup Final which took place on the 2nd. The report also makes it clear that Aston Villa was founded in the latter part of 1874. This contradicts a later alternative account given in 1924 which suggests the Villa was founded in March of 1874, and so is of great importance to the history of Aston Villa. It should be available to all villans.

The Sheffield Star
Especially anything after the 2000s since The Star has no way of making these available online anywhere, and I need them to look up recent historical crimes locally.

North Belfast News
The North Belfast News was launched sometime in the 1990s as part of the Belfast Media Group, which had already established the Andersonstown News in 1972. Would be great to have all of BMG's titles digitized, especially the North Belfast News.

Garston & Woolton Reporter - The Great War Years 1914-1920
The Garston & Woolton Reporter 1888-1920 is on the microfiche tapes at Liverpool Central Library. They may contain biographical accounts of fallen Soldiers with their photos. It would be a huge help to Great War researchers.

The Cornishman 1960-1990
The Cornishman 1960-1990.
There's good representation prior to 1960 and some (but not all) after 1990 but a gap of thirty years from 1960 to 1990 that covers a lot of peoples lives who are still here and finally have to time to look back at old articles or have an interest in genealogy etc.
West Cornwall's location often makes for interesting headlines regarding activities (often unfortunately disasters) at sea. There are a number of noteworthy ones, the oil tanker the Torrey Canyon for example (1967), the tragic Union Star and the loss of the Penlee Lifeboat with all hands,…
