Dorset and Hampshire papers
There are at present none of the papers published in the Bournemouth / Poole area at all, and no 20th century Dorset papers at all, so this is a large gap in coverage which would be useful to be included - eg Bournemouth Daily Echo, Bournemouth Visitors Directory, Poole and Dorset Herald (amongst others).

Judging by other posts here, I am not alone in being disappointed by the poor coverage for Dorset.

Some more from the county durham area would be lovely.
Got papers that cover northumberland, but none for county durham -

On this site here is virtually nothing published in Dorset in 20th century, nothing at all published in the eastern half of the county, and nothing at all published in the (adjacent) western half of Hampshire. A big gap in coverage.With the development of the (then) 'new town' of Bournemouth coming in this area, newspaper reports from that area and era would be a most useful source. The Bournemouth Visitors Directory would be a particularly useful publication to include, but there are several others

Agree - and for the south east of the county nothing whatsoever, whilst other areas have multiple paper coverage !

Poole & Dorset Herald starts 1846 at the very end of the Newfoundland trade right up to World War 2
