    Oddly although it uses the same digital files, the searches available via the Gale portal are infinitely more configurable. Find My Past has already been mentioned as having superior searching. Why is it that the BNA has the worst search engine? The search tags are obviously there to be used.

    You don't have any sporting titles (apart from Bell Life in London) before 1859 and there wasa huge amount of sport before that date!!

    There are no sporting titles (apart from parts of Bell's Life in London and The Era) in the first half of the 19th century in your list, which seems odd. I know for certain that around 1840 there was 'The Sporting Review', 'New Sporting magazine' and 'The Sportsman'. Also around 1900-1910 Land & Water' another sports journal is missing. Please do what you can. Thank you.

    We have developed a prototype data feed from the digitisation workflow software which will provide much more granular data in future. Now we are looking at ways too feed this data through to the website and make it presentable

    The Shrewsbury Chronicle is one of the oldest newspapers in the country and is still going strong (since the 1770s) and is the title thaty best covers the county historically speaking. We need a full run! Shropshire was the birthplace of the industrial revolution and the activity of the county is of vital importance to historians of Georgian and Victorian periods.
