Dunfermline Press material from 1865 onwards
Liam Kelly from your Support Team informed me that you were not including Dunfermline Press material from 1865 onwards. Liam did not give a reason so I contacted Mr Harris, the current editor of the DP. He said that the copies of the paper are all held by the British Library and couldn't see any reason why they could not be included. For local people in the West of Fife, the Dunfermline Press is a main source of local history. I have frequently used the microfiche facility in the Carnegie Library but have found this difficult to use due to some very poor quality reproduction, my less than perfect eyesight and a more or less non existent index. Moreover, the library has recently closed for a two year renovation and only a very limited service is available.
The inclusion of the complete Dunfermline Press in your magnificent archive would be very much appreciated and very well used.
The Dunfermline Press becomes Dunfermline Saturday Press around this time period. We have added content for both titles based on what material is available at the British Library.

I am researching St. George's Road in Bristol. It appears to be impossible to get items concerning this road without all items with the name "George", "Road" or even "St." this means trawling through thousands of items. Can I have my search concentrated on what I am actually interested in?
