World's Fair (Oldham)We currently have over 3,000 titles on our digitisation plan, and while these Oldham titles have been added, digitisation times vary depending on the accessibility of the material for digitisation. The majority of these titles require original image capture of hard copy holdings, unfortunately, this is the slowest form of digitisation.

Over the last year, we have worked with National World to secure an agreement allowing us to digitise and publish more of their content. National World currently have over 200 local and regional titles across the United Kingdom and we are diligently working through them as quickly as possible. While the Portsmouth Evening News is on the plan, please note that turnaround times may vary depending on the accessibility of the material for digitisation.
