Newspapers we should add next
Tell us what publications would be of most use to you. You can be as general (Victorian cycling magazines) or specific (South Wales Argus) as you wish! We take on board all of your suggestions but are bound by copyright restrictions and our agreements with publishers, these form the boundaries of what we may publish online.

Orcadian
The absence of the Orcadian is a big absence from the Scottish coverage. The few years of the Orkney Herald is welcome, but not a substitute.

Hi, Thank you for your suggestion. The good news is (pun intended!) that we are actively digitising this title at the moment. You will see that 1915 is already available on the site here: http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/search/results/1910-01-01/1919-12-31?sortorder=dayearly&newspapertitle=newcastle%20evening%20chronicle
Best wishes,

Staffordshire Sentinel
I would like to see the existing dates extended into the 1920 at least. My interest is the effect and aftermath of the First World War on the people of the Potteries.

Scottish Referee
Surprised this essential paper for Scottish football 1889-1914 doesn't show on a search. It was always available at Colindale so you must have it

We are currently working to digitise what is available for the Scottish Referee at the British Library and have one year, 1891 live on the site.
