The above are the key genealogical periodicals available to researchers.  
Beyond this there are a host of locally oriented periodicals, (Connecticut  
Ancestry etc.); family association journals (Kemp Family Roots, etc.); and 
historical society journals. There are also historical periodicals issued 
by churches(Adventist Heritage etc.) or specialty groups (Southern Cemetery 
or American Cemetery). Many archives issue newsletters or journals. The 
National Archives issues Prologue ($12/Qrtrly).

How to approach this task?
(1) Check with your local library. Review the titles listed above and see if
they meet your needs.
(2) Write to the State Library of the state that you're interested in doing 
genealogical research. Ask   for a list of local interest genealogical, 
historical and archival titles published in the State. Write for sample 
issues of those or interest. To keep up with local sources read a local 
journal. The same is true for specialty journals. If your genealogical 
research is mostly Jewish, Adventist, Episcopal, or Quaker then
read their historical journals.
