East Dorset Herald
East Dorset Herald would be nice. Microfilms are available to visitors in the Dorset History Centre but there is nothing online anywhere. There is said to be some interesting 1912 articles about the Titanic and local casualties.

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…

Fort William Times about 1898 only two years which are in a very poor state but covers the Highland Regionan interesting time
It was only published for about two years which are in a very poor state at the BL collection. It covers a wide area of the Highlands at an interesting time for the area. Being a small publication it might be missed out but surely we should be looking at regional papers as well as the large cities? It is on microfilm but the public have no access to this and moving the originals around the country to the BL reading rounds will be difficult due to it's condition.
