    It would be extremely helpful if the blue highlighting box (search result) on the image could be replicated in the editing box so as to save lots of iterative attempts to find that highlighted text for editing.

  3. Please put Newspaper title in downloaded filename

    Currnently PDF files downloaded are in the form of BL0000564193810312510011.pdf - can the first ID be replaced with the newspaper title, please? e.g. BLDundeeCourier19381031251_0011.pdf - there is currently no way to link an image to a newspaper without manually viewing the image.

  4. BNA Library Access at Home

    During the current lockdown, many public libraries that offer Ancestry and Find My Past but only in library buildings (which are now closed) are offering the same service to library members in their homes. You just have to log in to your library account, and then enter the username and password you are given.
    How about the BNA doing the same thing?

  5. Voting for a publication instructions

    My colleagues and myself have been struggling to vote for a newspaper to be recommended for digitisation. We are not computer illiterates but have found the voting process far from intuitive, particularly as you have to create a second password in order to vote. Do you have some clear instructions we could share with others who have been put off attempting to vote?

    Add ‘Previous result’ and ‘Next result’ links to each page shown from a list of search results, so that it is not necessary to return to the results list before viewing the next result. The Times Digital Archive already has this facility.

  9. Exact searching

    Because words like "and", "of" etc. seem to be used as operators, I often can't use them in the way I'd like. For example, I want to search for the EXACT phrase "The Horse and Hounds". At the moment, I can't see how to do it.

  10. Correcting transcription errors

    If I copy out an article, I like to correct transcription errors so others benefit from the corrected version,

    But your system if very frustrating, as fast as I can correct errors then more appear.

    I usually just copy to my PC and edit there so no one else benefits from my work.

    Comments are limited to 500 characters so I cannot even paste the corrected version there.

  11. Ability to Clip Articles

    Ability to clip articles as opposed to downloading the page in its entirety without any boundaries for the information you're actually interested in preserving. Think Newspapers.com. For the price of admission the feature is sorely needed.

    Can you give us some more detail here? How would we work out which article were of interest to you, or are you just wanting an easier way to save and print individual articles as you come across them?

  15. Requesting a rescan of images

    How do we re request to have a page rescanned when half is missing, but is complete on next page?

    Edinburgh Evening News - Monday 01 April 1912, Page 3 has the far column halved - but on page 4 the column on the edge is complete.

    This is a scanning issue and could be corrected by a rescan
