Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bibliography of Foreign Language Newspapers and Periodicals Published in Chicago In listing the publications the attempt was made to include the following information: title, translation of title, frequency of issue, type of publication (newspaper or periodical), editorial policy, date of establishment, date of expiration, name of editor, name and address of publisher, and library location symbols designating holdings. Unfortunately it was not possible in every case to secure all of the above data for each item listed. The sources used in compiling this bibliography were many. All available newspaper and periodical directories, checklists, catalogs and guides were combed. Almanacs, yearbooks, and advertisers and city directories were thoroughly searched. Library lists and special bibliographies, including the Union List of Serials and Union List of Newspapers, were minutely examined. Pertinent material was gleaned from numerous histories of foreign language groups in Chicago and in the United States. Finally the private archives of various editors and publishers were checked for additional information. A few points concerning the style of listing require amplification. The titles are entered in the Latin alphabet and are arranged alphabetically, definite and indefinite articles excluded, by language. Where transliteration was necessary, it was performed in accordance with standard practices. For the benefit of the general user the titles are translated; in some cases this was done rather freely. It was not always easy to determine whether a given publication should be classed as a newspaper or periodical. The rule of thumb generally applied here was the frequency of issue and the percentage of space devoted to current news. The dates of establishment and expiration of a publication cover only its life in Chicago. In listing the name of the editor, the intention was to indicate the last person to hold that position, but in many cases this was not possible. While publications printed wholly in English are not included, those published partly in English and partly in a foreign tongue appear in this volume. Lastly, a few ephemeral items may have been listed which should possibly have been excluded. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
