Periodicals
A weekly Jewish newspaper has been published in Washington (or its suburbs) since the 1930s. Its name has varied; it is currently called Washington Jewish Week (since 1983);
previously Jewish Week (1975-1983). It seems to have begun as "Jewish Week" then merged with the "National Jewish Ledger", as "Jewish Week, National Jewish Ledger" sometime later merging with the American Examiner--published out of New York, and moving back to Washington in 1975.
Much of the run is held at the Library of Congress. [Please note, often newspapers published less frequently than daily are classified in libraries as "periodicals" and not "newspapers." This may affect where the library locates the paper.]
