In 1894, the Bernisches Historisches Museum was opened on Helvetiaplatz in Bern. The collections comprise some 567'000 objects divided into four main categories: the archaeological collection, the historical collection, the numismatic collection and the ethnographical collection. The museum is funded by the Canton of Bern, the Burgher Community of Bern, the City of Bern and the Regional Conference Bern-Mittelland.

In its Annual report, or from 1921-1970 in the Yearbook, the Bernisches Historisches Museum provides information on the museum's operations, the expansion of the collections and their research. From 1923 onwards, the Yearbooks grew into comprehensive volumes, which, in addition to the collection reports and lists of objects, increasingly published scientific articles. From 1971-1984 the Annual report was no longer part of the Yearbook, but was published separately. Since 1984 the Yearbook is no longer published, while the publication of the Annual report continues to this day.
