=== Obtaining Periodicals ===
 
Copies of periodicals are available from the local societies that publish them. Major archives with genealogical collections will have copies of many periodicals, particularly those representing the area they serve. The Periodical Source Index, or PERSI, is the largest subject index to genealogy and local history periodical articles in the world. PERSI is available online and is especially useful because it refers to countless items published in thousands of family history periodicals worldwide. Learn more at the PERSI wiki page here:<br>
''The Galitzianer.'' Chevy Chase, Maryland: Gesher Galicia,1993–. (FHL book 943.86 F25g.) Information on Jews from Galicia, Austria (now part of Poland and Ukraine).  
*[[Periodical Source Index (PERSI)|Periodical Source Index (PERSI)]]. Ft. Wayne, Indiana: Allen County Public Library Foundation, 1987-.

Once you locate an article in a periodical, check the [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog FamilySearch Catalog] and regional or local libraries for available copies.
 
The Family History Library has collected many periodicals, with some available in digital format and accessible online. Poland periodicals may be found in the FamilySearch Catalog with a Place and Subject search, as found here: [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&placeId=92&query=%2Bplace%3APoland%20%2Bsubject%3APeriodicals Poland-Periodicals]. They can also be found by using:
Many other Polish-American genealogical societies publish periodicals and newsletters. These contain many useful articles about research in Poland, archives in Poland, and local Polish-American communities and people. Two good examples are:
*'''Place''' Search of the country, state/province, and county
 
*'''Title''' Search of the periodical
''The Polish Eaglet.'' Detroit, Michigan: Polish Genealogical Society of Michigan, 1995–. (FHL book 977.4 D25p.) Called The Eaglet 1981–95.
*'''Keyword''' Search for the publishing society name.<br>
 
Also find Periodical resources available at other libraries via [https://www.worldcat.org/ WorldCat]. As with the FamilySearch Catalog search, search WorldCat using society names, locality names, and periodical title names.

There are many other genealogical periodicals. Try to learn if there is a society in the area where your Polish ancestors settled. Polish societies with newsletters exist in Minnesota, Texas, Wisconsin, and many other states.  
 
The Family History Library subscribes to the newsletters of most Polish genealogical societies as well as other journals and magazines relating to Poland. These are listed in the FamilySearch Catalog several ways. If you know the title of a periodical, search the Author/Title section.
