I think the archive for this newspaper would be brilliant, but I get the feeling that the archives are fiercely protected by the owners. You can view all past editions in St Ives museum, the town library, or The Times and Echo offices, but I can’t imagine they would consent to them being published elsewhere

These newspapers are vital sources for all those looking for information on their Cornish forebears, especially in the United States and Australia, as well as for those researching the artists of St Ives.

Researching D H Lawrence in Cornwall 1916-1917, and this was the newspaper he read. Rather stuck without it 😐

The absence of those titles is a serious handicap to those doing local history research. They should certainly be added to the archive.

These would be great for family history - hoping they also have photographs of local hero’s fro WW1. Desperate to find one of my relatives in a photograph

It would be nice to trace some of the family through the newspapers, particulary as my family have been in St. Ives for 600 years
