Thank you for your suggestion. The good news is that the Sunderland Echo is already available. Please see here: http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/search/results?newspapertitle=sunderland%20daily%20echo%20and%20shipping%20gazette&sortorder=dayearly
We will be adding more years as the project progresses.
Best wishes,
Team BNA

The Sunderland Echo is missing 1923-1929 - I'm not sure whether this is because the Echo offices once had a fire that destroyed those years (which it did) or whether it's a coincidence ... however the only available 1920s run is on microfiche at Sunderland library, and is slow work (presumably this must relate to what Colindale held?) Plugging the gap would be good, as would extending the run to 1970. There is nothing before 1874, when the Echo started, and here the Herald and Beacon would be excellent - all to complement the tremendous archive you have released.
