Tit-Bits, Answers, Pearson's Weekly, and Ally Sloper's Half Holiday
Some of the best-selling weekly newspapers from the nineteenth century have yet to be digitised. Tit-Bits, Answers, Pearson's Weekly, and Ally Sloper's Half Holiday all sold hundreds of thousands of copies each week and had an enormous influence on Victorian culture. I occasionally tweet example from my own bound volumes of these periodicals and I've lost count of the times that people have asked me where they can find them online.
As well as being packed with entertaining content, these papers also conducted a lot of competitions and other forms of reader interaction - this often resulted in readers' names…

(Great) Yarmouth Independent 1857 to WW2
Great Yarmouth in Victorian times was a major seaside resort and herring fishery. This paper is full of interesting facts. We have a thriving local research group which uses the hard copies of the paper regularly. Unfortunately they are in a poor state

see below if I've put it in the right spot??
Arthur Lismer sent images of the damage from the December 6th, 1917 Explosion of the munitions vessel Mont-Blanc to the Sheffield Independent which published them. I would estimate that they appeared in the last week of 1917 or in the month of January 1918. Have these issues been digitized or are 35 mm microfilm copies available for interlibrary loan? These images og pen & ink sh=ketches should be quite easy to spot sine I expect that there were three or four used in the Sheffield Independent??

More Carlisle newspaper editions
Please add more early years for the Carlisle Patriot and Carlisle Journal. The Patriot currently only runs from 1817-1820 plus about 3 editions from January 1821 as well as some random later years. The Carlisle Journal has 1847 and 1849 missing in its run from 1833-1866. It would be nice to have the whole of the 19th century covered without gaps by one or the other of the Carlisle papers.
