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 -
lloyds list
The inclusion of Lloyds List is excellent for maritime research, but only goes as far as 1884. Can this be extended to say 1918 to cover the evolution from sail to steam etc.

Dear Readers
We’re sorry to say that for the moment we have digitised all we can for Lloyd’s list. The British Library only holds to 1884.

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

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.

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.
