Newly Acquired Newspapers - Iraq

I recently found some unusual newspapers online and I'm in the process of adding them to the archive. The one I just finished today downloading is called Al-Zaura. It's an Iraqi weekly newspaper that was issued under Ottoman rule from Tuesday, June 15, 1869 to Tuesday, March 13, 1917 when the British conquered the area in the First World War. I managed to get 50 issues of this paper out of a possible 2,607 and will be on the lookout for more issues.
