Please can we have the Yorkshire Evening News. I believe it was incorperated into the Yorkshire Evening Post, which is available. Alos any chance of adding further editions of the YEP as well?

Essential reading

It would fantastic to add the Leeds Weekly Citizen. Very important (and interesting) local newspaper for anyone studying the Labour movement. The Yorkshire Factory Times should be added too!

The Leeds Weekly Citizen is particularly important as the longest running socialist newspaper - from October 1911 to June 1986. Its later years were a shadow of its former self. As a start it would be particularly worthwhile to digitise from 1911 to, say, 1970.

I should like both papers to be added to your newspaper archive

yes please Yorkshire evening news

I certainly would find it very useful if the Citizen was on line. Apart from the political developments (international, national & local ) covered in the paper. there are also reports of sporting fixtures and details about the films showing in Leeds

The Leeds Weekly Citizen started in 1911 and lasted until the 1980s.

The Leeds Weekly Citizen should be a priority. It was the longest lasting of all the socialist local newspapers. Because it was based within the Labour movement it regularly contained material that what not otherwise available. Consequently if much consulted by historians. Its current microfilm format is very user unfriendly: not only does it make users dizzy but it does not enable the user directly to pick out issues in the middle of a reel.

The Citizen was a Labour Party publication and one of the few newspapers which carried a detailed report of the Leeds Socialist Convention of 1917.

Both Yorkshire Evening News, Liberal paper, and the Leeds Weekly Citizen a Labour paper established 1911 would be invaluable for local historians.
