Newspapers from Grenada
Grenada only has one public library in St. George's, their archives are being destroyed by the elements and there is little funding to preserve the precious heritage within. Insight into Little Island's past can be taken from the newspapers preserved through digitization, however these items are also out of reach for many Grenadians, and those with familial ties to Grenada, being cost prohibitive or requiring a library with access to special subscriptions. For example, the only access to the topmost newspapers is via academic institutions or subscriptions (expensive paywalls). While I am a paying member of the BNA, it would…

Unfortunately, the British Library do not appear to have these titles within their collection. We are unable to source this material from alternative holdings.

SchNews
Dubbed by the Guardian newspaper as "The National Newsletter of the Protest Movement", this weekly news-sheet was produced during the 1990s and provides important documentary of the "Non-violent direct action" movement of the time. Bringing in social justice, international affairs, political campaigning, and environmental action, its lack of secure funding means that its own internet archive has had a rocky time. Almost all issues are available, not least because the annual collections/compendia were sent in to the British Library :)

Latest homes
"The Latest", later "Latest Homes" was originally a tabloid entertainments paper, before becoming a novel format A4ish magazine where opening from one side gave listings and ents whilst opening from the "back" (upside down) had property listings together with information about neighbourhoods and social events. Overall this is quite a strong document about the cultural life of Brighton through the 1990s and 2000s.

The Leader
The Leader was a free newspaper in Brighton back in the early 1990s. It contained a lot of community information that was sometimes - but not, I think, always, a subset of what was carried in the local paid-for Argus.

The "sixth sense" forces newspaper?
There was a British forces newspaper I used to read when I was about 9 years old and stationed in Germany from 1979 to 1981. I won a competition prize of a signed album by The Police- Ghost in the Machine - would love to find a copy of the paper - I think it was called the sixth sense IIRC

Daily Mirror & Sunday Mirror Magazine
I would greatly appreciate it if the missing dates for the Daily Mirror could be added, particularly for the early 1990s.
Also, adding scans of the Sunday Mirror Magazines that came packed with the Sunday Mirror newspaper would be great, as I don't think there are any here currently and there were frequent cross-articles.10 votes -
Broughty Ferry Guide 1893-1905
An active community annexed to Dundee around 1910. These early years would contain much which is not covered in Dundee's own papers.

Soccer Star
A very informative football weekly newspaper from the 60s to, I think, the 90s. Very, very useful for football statisticians throughout the UK.

About Town / Rave
Complimentary magazines to the London Life-era Tatler, with wonderful photography, graphic design and range of articles useful for researching the era. Rave is potentially more niche, being pop-music slanted but About Town (aka Town) would be excellent resource - and neither of the titles seem to have been anthologised by the copyright holder.
Excellent images and info on About Town here: http://mikedempsey.typepad.com/graphic_journey_blog/2015/08/tom-wolsey-no-compromise.html
