The British Newspaper Archive (www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk), having reached 48 million records in mid-February, is currently going at a rate of knots, having now passed 49 million records (currently at 49,154,423).

COMMENT: 20th century Glasgow still remains one of the final frontiers - a huge gap for Scotland's largest city, which I hope will be addressed at some point in the near future.
