    The Leeds Weekly Citizen is particularly important as the longest running socialist newspaper - from October 1911 to June 1986. Its later years were a shadow of its former self. As a start it would be particularly worthwhile to digitise from 1911 to, say, 1970.

    The Leeds Weekly Citizen should be a priority. It was the longest lasting of all the socialist local newspapers. Because it was based within the Labour movement it regularly contained material that what not otherwise available. Consequently if much consulted by historians. Its current microfilm format is very user unfriendly: not only does it make users dizzy but it does not enable the user directly to pick out issues in the middle of a reel.
