How can we improve The British Newspaper Archive?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  3. Download a full newspaper

    Could you make it possible to download a complete edition of a newspaper in one go rather than having to download each individual page?

  12. I recommend you include the Orcadian newspaper - the absence of Orkney news (apart from a few years of the Orkney Herald) is a serious omiss

    We need the Orcadian newspaper online - the few years of the Orkney Herald is not a substitute. The absence of the key Orkney paper is a very serious gap in Scottish coverage.

  14. Make the newspaper title and date in a font that can be copied, so that any extract can have a date and name news pasted with it.

  17. Save a single article

    I have been reading for a couple of years that you hope to make it possible to save a single article instead of a whole page but I haven’t seen any progress in providing this, are you actually going to provide this option? it is why I let my subscription lapse, I would rejoin if this was sorted.

  18. Honor Your Promotions - 3 Free pages

    When you have a promotion ie:
    sign in and get 3 pages for free before 7 may 2108

    It would be nice if this actually happened
    And it would be nice if you answered emails quering that it has happened..

    If you are going to run a promotion - Honor it.....

    I am still not able to see 3 free pages

  20. Give me the discount!

    I am asking for help. A few weeks ago I took out another subscription and paid the full asking price - a few hours later I received an email that went on about getting 30% off for being a loyal customer. Your response was to ask me to send a copy of the relevant email - this surprised me as surely you know what the hell is going on in your own organisation. My email have kept bouncing. I have decided to try informing you through this method. A screen shot of the email is attached.
