Our Cats
This is a small publication that is critical for the history of the cat fancy. There are only two known sets copies … one set is in the British Newspaper library and the other is privately held. It was written by Harrison Weir who is considered the father of the cat fancy but he was also an artist and illustrator of note and his illustrations cover a wide range of animals and birds. It shows insight into the lives of leading figures of the time, particularly women with coverage on people like Lady Decies, Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein, lady Claud…

The Bengal Hurkaru and Chronicle
With a considerable history of publication predating the 1857 mutiny, this newspaper provides a great insight into the happenings in India during the East India Company rule.
The history of railways in India prior to 1853 has largely been forgotten and finds little mention in post-1853 newspapers. This newspaper can be a great source for people looking into researching India's railway history from before 1853.1 vote -

Newry Telegraph
The Newry Telegraph was printed up to 1970 but it is only available on here up to 1902. Is it possible to get more years added as it would be valuable to my research into Newry Town FC.

The Tatler after 1966
I think the Tatler on the BNA could do with an extension - its low point around 1974 would be illustrative of the upper classes' low ebb at that moment amid fears (although of course also other people's hopes) of permanent socialism, and its revival in the early 1980s would be an instructive picture of their recovery from that near-death experience (the 'Sloane Ranger' era).

Paisley Daily Express
Please may we have an update of Paisley Daily Express. There are Three generations of publications missing - The Silent Generation 1930s to 1945, Baby Boomers - 1946 - 1964, and Generation X - 1965 - 1980. I am a 'Baby Boomer' and have so much I want to research from these era's, as probably will thousands of other subscribers with an interest in Paisley and District
Many thanks for your consideration

The Football Times
Currently kept at Inverness Library as part of the Inverness Advertiser, collection this newspaper would be an excellent addition to the archives as an essential research tool for sports historian in the Highlands. A Saturday newspaper, it was a key publication for many decades for sports followers, especially football covering leagues and achievements in around the Highland region.

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?
