Taking a look at Isaac Mayer Wise’s 1893 lecture “Introduction to a Bibliography of the Jewish Periodical Press,” this is an introduction to nine short essays that describe a variety of Jewish American periodicals—written in different languages, addressed to different audiences, from the late nineteenth century to the present day—that together offer a small sampling of what a full-blown guide to Jewish American periodicals might look like. This article includes references for further research.
