Monmoutshire Beacon
Monmouthshire Beacon was online up to 1911 and was later updated to around 1950. I did considerable research and created many links to interesting local news stories only to find the BNA pulled the later editions leaving me with a totally wasted experience. No information is to be had about if or when the Beacon will be reinstated. No sensible responses have been given to enquiries on this. I suspect I have simply wasted 100's of hours researching and will never get the links working again. The answer is to download the lot and always be aware that the BNA…

NME
I think it would be a good idea to look at adding music papers such as the NME and Melody Maker as well as others, the stories and history of music and bands is in the pages of these papers and that is as interesting and important as other history in the newspapers on your files.

Rothwell Times
It would be helpful if you could digitise the Rothwell Times which started publication in 1873. Please could you start with the year 1879 as the British Library has the only microfilm copy available to the public. Leeds library has the other years on microfilm but does not have 1879.

Trade journals and staff magazines
These would be good as they'd provide a wealth of information . The former would provide more information on different sectors of the economy which might provide researchers with information on change in business, consumerism and society. Company staff magazines contain business details and information on staff members and social events, meaning they'd be great for many forms of research (local, genealogical, busjness)

Exeter Flying Post 1763-1800
While you say editions of the Exeter Flying Post prior to 1800 are not available I have found frequent academic references to the paper for the period 1763-1800, especially about ships, shipping, naval affairs and privateers, so I hope those years can become available.

'Elgin Courant and Courier' of 1880s and 90s.
The politically independent paper had a massive circulation in both Moray and the southern Highlands and offers very detailed reports on local affairs, invaluable for historical research. Microfiche copies are so impossible to use.

The Builder
The Builder was first published in 1843 and under the editorship of George Godwin (1844-83) it developed into "the most important and successful professional paper of its kind with a readership well beyond the architectural and building world". It featured not only landmark buildings – with fabulous illustrations – but also articles on more practical aspects of the building trade, sanitation and so on. Further background here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_(magazine)Some issues of The Builder are available online (http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/serial?id=builder) but many are not searchable. It would be wonderful if the British Newspaper Archive could spearhead a campaign to bring together…
