The Owl
The Owl was a weekly journal that included local news in the Bingham area of Nottinghamshire. I believe it was also a bit of a satirical journal. It would provide a lot of more colourful details of the people and the area. I believe it was published around the 1850s-1890s. It also went under the name of the Midland Jackdaw in the 1880s-1890s.

Coleraine Chronicle and Coleraine Times - 60s, 70s & 80s
I would love to see more Coleraine Chronicle and Coleraine Times newspapers added to the website, particularly from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Although the earlier years of the Coleraine Chronicle are on the website, I think the later newspapers should be added.

The Critic
Can I suggest the Critic, which was the Private Eye of its day. It began life as the African Critic and was originally based in South Africa. It moved to London around 1898. Its editor Henry Hess had a splendid disregard for the libel law and exposed a number of financial frauds. He was frequently sued. A new editor took over in around 1905 and although the magazine became less edgy it could still publish hard-hitting exposes. It ceased publication in about 1915. I believe the British Library has a complete run of the magazine.

All early UK newspapers
Whilst its great that you keep adding new newspapers to the archive, I have noticed that all of them for some time now have been fairly modern papers ie 20th century. It would be great to see a drive to add all of UK's earliest newspapers for every county. Many start in the early 1700s, and would be far more useful for my research, and afterall shouldn't we be saving very old newspapers first for posterity before they disappear?

It doesn't look like the British Library have this title in their collection. We have added the earlier titles, The Eye-Witness (1911–1912) & The New Witness (1912–1923), to our digitisation plan. If we are able to locate suitable holdings for G.K.'s Weekly we will do our best to include them too.

Shields Weekly News
You have very good (though not complete) coverage of the (NORTH) Shields Daily News (under its changing names) right up to 21 August 1959 when it ceased to be a daily paper. The final edition of the paper in your archive has, handwritten on the top of the front page, 'Last issue of this paper. Continued as Shields Gazette', That is incorrect. The Gazette is a quite different SOUTH Shields paper.
The fact that there was a proprietorial link between the North and South Shields newspapers (owned by Northern Press at the time) might explain the confusion but there is…3 votes -
The Inquirer (Unitarian newspaper)
The Inquirer (Unitarian newspaper) would be a fabulous resource. Unitarian Chapels were/are all over the country so this would be useful for many researchers. Thanks for your consideration!

Dorking and Leatherhead Advertiser
I'm researching the history of brass and silver bands in the Dorking and Leatherhead area. The files for the Dorking and Leatherhead Advertiser series appears to have a gap between 1951 and 1968. This seriously hampers the work I'm doing. Please fill this gap.
