Sleaford Gazette and Sleaford Journal
Sleaford is a market town in Lincolnshire and the Gazette was the main paper from 1854 to 1960; the Journal was printed from 1889 to 1929, when it was incorporated into the Gazette. It would be a very useful resource for local and family history studies in the area.

The Gazette would be very useful for local historians. Sleaford was the centre of local government for the county of Kesteven - a town that was more important than its size would suggest

As one of several academic historians currently working on Sleaford, I await the Sleaford Gazette eagerly and trust you will do everything you can to expedite its inclusion on the BNL website.

There is much interest in historical research in Sleaford. The Gazette back copies available for study would be used by many local people.

Having found newspapers an invaluable source for research on behalf of a national military veterans association, now as mayor of this historic market town I support most strongly the addition of the Sleaford Gazette and Sleaford Journal to the archive.

Sleaford was also the county town of Kesteven until 1974 and the Kesteven County Council offices were located in the town, making it an important centre for local administration.
