  1. Suffolk Chronicle

    This was the local paper which the poor read to each other in the early nineteenth century, and has a different angle to the 'establishment' Ipswich Journal and Bury and Norwich Post. It contains a lot of information which the other two don't, or that they look at with a very different bias

  4. Nottingham Review

    This is an important regional newspaper in the period 1811-1817, the period of the Luddite uprisings, and it's inclusion on this website before the bicentenary ends is vital! It's proprietor, Charles Sutton, was convicted of libelling the Crown in 1816 & jailed.

  6. Dorset County Chronicle

    The Dorset coverage is very odd – the Sherborne Mercury is available for 1789-1867, but it’s subtitled the Western Flying Post and the Yeovil Mercury, and is clearly focused on northern Dorset and Somerset.

    The newspaper produced in Dorset’s market town (Dorchester) was the Dorset County Chronicle, but there are ONLY five years’ worth (1863-67) of issues on the British Newspaper Archives site.

    Dorchester was the legal, political, trade and administrative capital of the county and the Dorset County Chronicle would be the best newspaper for tracing the county’s history. The Chronicle was published from 1824.

  10. Any Hawick paper

    For a long time you had no papers published in the Scottish Borders. You've now added the Southern Reporter, thank you, but this provides very little coverage of news in Hawick, the region's largest town then. Please add one of the Hawick papers, like the Hawick News, to plug this gap. Thank you.

    Hi Vivienne,
    Hopefully you will have seen that the Hawick News has been making it’s way on to the site as we digitise it. You can access it directly here: http://bit.ly/1DDUI2d

    Best wishes,

    Team BNA

    Hi Vivienne, Thank you for your feedback. We have investigated the possibility of inclusion. Good news – The Hawick News is within scope for inclusion as we have an agreement with the publisher. It was published from 1889.

    We have added the following years to our Digitisation Plan: 1889-1951

    Please be aware that until we have received the material into our studio and checked it, it is not possible to guarantee that it will be digitised.

    Best wishes,

    Team BNA

  11. John o' Groat Journal

  13. Devon Newspapers

    You have some Devon papers, but currently your coverage is very patchy. I'm looking for a family in the first half of the C.20th in the Torbay area, but coming up empty. There are many, many Devon titles available, according to this link…

  14. Military newspapers: The Broad Arrow and the United Services Gazette

    These newspapers frequently contain information that is useful for both the academic historian and those interested in family history as they trace regimental movements and provide information about promotions, courts-martial, etc.
