The Letchworth and Baldock Citizen
Due to the recent highly successful and widely publicised 'Herts at War' exhibition hosted in Letchworth Garden City, there has been a lot of interest in WW1 related activity in the area. Hosting The Letchworth and Baldock Citizen would mean stories connected to WW1 would be accessible to the Letchworth community.
The early late 19c and early 20c was also the period in which Letchworth - the worlds FIRST garden city was created by the pioneer of town planning Ebeneezer Howard, This work and learnings has spread internationally ever since. Howard's and Letchworth's influence is still felt today by town…

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!

Suffolk Chronicle
This was the local paper which the poor read to each other in the early nineteenth century, and has a different angle to the 'establishment' Ipswich Journal and Bury and Norwich Post. It contains a lot of information which the other two don't, or that they look at with a very different bias

Middlesex Advertiser and Gazette
This long-running local paper covered a large, densely-populated area of West Middlesex and neighbouring Buckinghamshire. If digitised it would be a invaluable resource for researchers, local people and family historians with connections to the area.

Morning Advertiser - licensed trade newspaper
For those with ancestors who were licensed victuallers, this newspaper is invaluable. It began in 1794 and by the mid 19th century was the second highest circulating newspaper after The Times. Charles Dickens was an early contributor. It gives details of pubs changing hands, deaths of pub landlords and elections to Licensed Victuallers Homes (retirement homes for pub landlords & their families - an early example of occupational welfare). Please give this serious consideration as it covers an important occupational group. The newspapers are already scanned by the British Library.
