Tit-Bits, Answers, Pearson's Weekly, and Ally Sloper's Half Holiday
Some of the best-selling weekly newspapers from the nineteenth century have yet to be digitised. Tit-Bits, Answers, Pearson's Weekly, and Ally Sloper's Half Holiday all sold hundreds of thousands of copies each week and had an enormous influence on Victorian culture. I occasionally tweet example from my own bound volumes of these periodicals and I've lost count of the times that people have asked me where they can find them online.
As well as being packed with entertaining content, these papers also conducted a lot of competitions and other forms of reader interaction - this often resulted in readers' names…

(Great) Yarmouth Independent 1857 to WW2
Great Yarmouth in Victorian times was a major seaside resort and herring fishery. This paper is full of interesting facts. We have a thriving local research group which uses the hard copies of the paper regularly. Unfortunately they are in a poor state

The Witness (Edinburgh)
A key newspaper in mid-nineteenth century Scotland was The Witness, published in Edinburgh from 1840 until 1864 and edited for much of that time by Hugh Miller, a towering figure in the Scotland of that era. The Witness, very much the voice of the then newly launched and hugely influential Free Church of Scotland, contains all sorts of valuable insights into social, cultural, political and ecclesiastical developments in early Victorian Scotland.
