The Nelson Leader would be an excellent newspaper to have on your site. It is one of the best local newspapers in the country.

This would be a valuable addition 1900s to 1930s. Nelson had a very interesting local economic and political culture.

Please can you digitize "The Nelson Leader" Est 1890. Nelson, Lancashire. The premises of the newspaper was flooded and all archives destroyed I understand. However Nelson Public Library still holds copies. Can you scan and digitise before these too are destroyed. What is available online is 'Nelson Leader WW1 Local War Records 1914-1915' https://archive.org/details/NelsonLeaderWw1LocalWarRecords1914-1915
