Our Cats
This is a small publication that is critical for the history of the cat fancy. There are only two known sets copies … one set is in the British Newspaper library and the other is privately held. It was written by Harrison Weir who is considered the father of the cat fancy but he was also an artist and illustrator of note and his illustrations cover a wide range of animals and birds. It shows insight into the lives of leading figures of the time, particularly women with coverage on people like Lady Decies, Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein, lady Claud…

Nottingham Gazette
A short-run regional newspaper between 1813-1815 that was notorious for countering the rival Nottingham Review. I understand the BL has the full run of this paper.

Leigh Chronicle
Exceptional Lancashire newspaper very rich in historical content c/w special detailed feature sections on local industries and historical contributions by local historians. Also has an annual 'Diary of Local Events' which lists the key events of the previous year. I've spent hundreds of hours reading this publication and can vouch for it as being essential local reading. It ran from c. 1857 until the early 1960's.

The Highlander (1873-1882)
The Highlander, published in Inverness between 1873 and 1881, is said to have focused on land reform and the Gaelic language, but it is also likely to have featured socialist ideas as the editor was "one of the founders of the Scottish Labour Party". As such it is likely to be of interest not just to Gaelic Scholars and Celticists but also to historians interested in socialism and the experience of the working class, be they from Scotland or other parts of the UK, or scholars more generally researching politics during the 1870s and early 1880s. The Highlander was also…

The Daily Gleaner (Jamaica)
I have been a regular researcher on this site since it was first launched. It would be lovely to see some more Jamaican Newspapers added, I’m sure they would be beneficial to many people who had Colonial ancestors who lived there. I see you are adding Colonial India Newspapers, but so far only have one Jamaican Newspaper. The Daily Gleaner would be an excellent addition to your brilliant archives.
