Haven't been able to gather much info so far, but my family just found an old Hull mail newspaper from 1911. Alot of it is missing but the front and back page are almost completely intact. Was wondering if a collector would find any value in this? Has some articles on British Raj in India, the Hull workers strikes and even some small stories from after the King's coronation. Thanks for any info. Photos are available on request.
Monetary and historical value are quite different things in this sort of situation. Newspaper collectors tend to value both pristine condition (simply because it is rare, and so a way of differentiating between multiple similar items) and the newsworthiness of the main content – so a paper from this year that covered the siege of Sidney Street (January), the launch of the Titanic (May) or just the Bradford-Newcastle FA Cup final (April) would be worth a lot more than one that featured less (to us) well-remembered or impactful news.
Without such material, a newspaper that's missing pages or otherwise not in good condition is sadly unlikely to be worth much in purely monetary terms. But, at least if it is an edition of a title that has not been thoroughly conserved or archived, it could still have historical value and should not be discarded.
In this case, a check with the British Library suggests that the 1911 run of the Hull Daily News is among the local papers that have been microfilmed. But if you run across a paper that has apparently not been, even if it is only a partial copy of one edition, it should be preserved and it would be worth contacting the town or county archives (in the UK) or equivalent to offer to donate it. This goes double for older papers and papers published in towns that had only a single title, where the risk of literally losing history is that much greater.
