The Neujahrsblatt is the annual periodical of the historical association of the canton of St. Gallen. In addition to a scientific main article on a topic related to the history of St. Gallen, from 1880 to 2001, the Neujahrsblatt also included an appendix with the St. Gallen chronicle listing all of the important events in the canton and, from 1880 to 2009, a St. Gallen bibliography. Since 1967, an archaeological research report has also been included in the appendix, and an annual report of the canton’s monument preservation activities was added from 2007 onwards.
St. Galler Schreibmappe and its successor St. Galler Jahresmappe were published from 1897 to 1939. In addition to articles about topics related to St. Gallen, they also contain distinctions of St. Gallen residents and a number of adverts. From 1943 to 1996, the Gallus-Stadt (city of Gallus) annual was published by Zollikofer. It contains historical articles, documents events in the city of St. Gallen and honours those who passed away who had made an impact on life in the city.
Rorschacher Neujahrsblatt contains essays on the history, geography, culture and economy of the city of Rorschach and the surrounding region (Rorschach, Rorschacherberg, Goldach, Steinach, Horn, Tübach, Mörschwil, Thal). It features obituaries of people from the Rorschach region and an annual chronicle.
Toggenburger Annalen and its replacement publication, Toggenburger Jahrbuch, contain articles on the rich and varied history, culture and nature of the Thur Valley and Necker Valley. The articles in Toggenburger Jahrbuch are complemented by book reviews and chronicles from the individual municipalities of Toggenburg.
Werdenberger Jahrbuch publishes articles on the history and culture of the Werdenberg municipalities of Wartau, Sevelen, Buchs, Grabs, Gams and Sennwald. Each annual focuses on a different subject. The second half of the yearbook contains articles on any topic of the respective author’s choosing. The volumes are rounded off with book reviews, the annual reports of the HHVW, an annual regional chronicle, statistics, voting and election results, weather and nature reports and a list of the recently deceased in the six municipalities.
