We’ve added 210,632 historical newspaper pages to the Archive in the last seven days. The latest additions include one brand new title – North Star and Farmers’ Chronicle. This Scottish paper was founded in 1893 and still exists today, now simply known as North Star. The paper mainly covers the old county of Ross & Cromarty taking in the towns of Dingwall, Tain, Alness and Invergordon.
835 issues of North Star and Farmers’ Chronicle, containing over 6,400 pages have been released spanning the years 1895-1903 and 1905-1911. This release takes our total coverage for Scotland to over 400,000 pages.

Great that you have the Daily Mirror now, but will your deal with Trinity Mirror also include the Daily Record? This national Scottish newspaper needs to be extended beyond just the war years.
