All early UK newspapers
Whilst its great that you keep adding new newspapers to the archive, I have noticed that all of them for some time now have been fairly modern papers ie 20th century. It would be great to see a drive to add all of UK's earliest newspapers for every county. Many start in the early 1700s, and would be far more useful for my research, and afterall shouldn't we be saving very old newspapers first for posterity before they disappear?

The Passing Show
A magazine that ran from 1915 to the mid-1930s and printed political cartoons from around the world. What's not to like?

The Critic
Can I suggest the Critic, which was the Private Eye of its day. It began life as the African Critic and was originally based in South Africa. It moved to London around 1898. Its editor Henry Hess had a splendid disregard for the libel law and exposed a number of financial frauds. He was frequently sued. A new editor took over in around 1905 and although the magazine became less edgy it could still publish hard-hitting exposes. It ceased publication in about 1915. I believe the British Library has a complete run of the magazine.

The Football Times
Currently kept at Inverness Library as part of the Inverness Advertiser, collection this newspaper would be an excellent addition to the archives as an essential research tool for sports historian in the Highlands. A Saturday newspaper, it was a key publication for many decades for sports followers, especially football covering leagues and achievements in around the Highland region.

The Tatler after 1966
I think the Tatler on the BNA could do with an extension - its low point around 1974 would be illustrative of the upper classes' low ebb at that moment amid fears (although of course also other people's hopes) of permanent socialism, and its revival in the early 1980s would be an instructive picture of their recovery from that near-death experience (the 'Sloane Ranger' era).

The Bengal Hurkaru and Chronicle
With a considerable history of publication predating the 1857 mutiny, this newspaper provides a great insight into the happenings in India during the East India Company rule.
The history of railways in India prior to 1853 has largely been forgotten and finds little mention in post-1853 newspapers. This newspaper can be a great source for people looking into researching India's railway history from before 1853.1 vote -

Buxton Herald
You have recently added the Buxton Advertiser and mention it merged with the Buxton Herald in 1952. I was wondering whether you would be adding the Buxton Herald (if you have copies). My father worked on the Herald in, I think, 1943 just before he went into the Navy. I would love to see what was happening in Buxton back then.

Carluke and Lanark Gazette (1960)
Carluke and Lanark Gazette - 1960. The reason I ask, is that my great grandmother, was very involved in Carluke, and I'm expecting there to be a significant obituary. You have the years up to 1959, and then from 1980 onwards. Just need 1960

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.

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.

Grangemouth Advertiser
This title has (I think) been absorbed into the Falkirk Herald stable) but it has a more focussed coverage of news and events in the Grangemouth area. Any and all dates will be of interest.
Thanks
