Morning Advertiser - licensed trade newspaper
For those with ancestors who were licensed victuallers, this newspaper is invaluable. It began in 1794 and by the mid 19th century was the second highest circulating newspaper after The Times. Charles Dickens was an early contributor. It gives details of pubs changing hands, deaths of pub landlords and elections to Licensed Victuallers Homes (retirement homes for pub landlords & their families - an early example of occupational welfare). Please give this serious consideration as it covers an important occupational group. The newspapers are already scanned by the British Library.

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).

Goole Times
We are volunteers at Goole Museum and would love to see the Goole Times on here, please. The newspaper covers not only the social, family and maritime history of the town, but also gives a wonderful insight into the development of a company town, established in the early 1800's with one main purpose - to provide the UK's furthest inland port. This would be such a useful and interesting newspaper to add to your wonderful site ... please?!!
