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…

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 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 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.

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…
