Thank you for your feedback. For this newspaper, we have the following titles in, or planned for, our digital archive:
1854–1903 The Derbyshire Times and Chesterfield Herald
1903–63 The Derbyshire Times, etc.Unfortunately much of the post 1900 material is only available as the original paper copy from the British Library. Whilst they move the collection from Colindale to Boston Spa, paper is in embargo. We are looking forward to scanning from paper again in the new year!
Best wishes,

Hi, A quick update – we have added the Dudley Herald to our Digitisation Plan for future digitisation!
Thanks for your votes. There’s obviously a gap in the West Midlands / Black Country – we’ll start seeing what we can do about it!

Everyone wants 'their' newspapers scanned
The list below illustrates that everyone wants 'their' newspapers scanned. Don't choose at random, or fill geographic gaps, get people to suggest what you scan next. Then you have customers eager to access. (Woburn Sands Bucks, by the way...)

Thank you for your comment. We are trying our best to choose titles that you would like. We have some limitations with respect to copyright and of course, availability of the original material to scan. Apart from that, it’s a huge project and we’re excited to increase our coverage. We hope that you feel you can use this feedback forum to suggest titles – if it gets lots of votes it will be higher on our radar ; )
Best wishes,

beverley guardian
Beverley Guardian/Advertiser would be terrific as it covered lots of news for the East Riding of Yorkshire areas that wasn't always covered in other papers such as the Hull Daily Mail

Good news – The Beverley Guardian fits our inclusion criteria! We have researched the BL catalogue and it is available to us for digitisation. This title is only available to scan from the original paper (i.e. has not been previously microfilmed). Due to the British library’s move of the physical paper archive from Colindale to the custom built storage unit in Boston Spa, the paper is under embargo and we cannot digitise from paper until the new year. However, the good news is that we have the following years on our Digitisation Plan: 1856-1871.
Please be aware that until we have received the material into our studio and checked it, it is not possible to guarantee that it will be digitised.
