The SL-FP was founded in 1970 by Pro Natura, the Swiss Heritage Society, the Swiss Association for National Planning, the Swiss Alpine Club and the Swiss Tourism Association. In its activity report, which has been published since 1970, the foundation looks back on the main topics of the previous year and reports on its project work, legal interventions and political activities.

In November 1860, the Stans publisher Caspar von Matt published the first Nidwaldner Brattig. The name Brattig is derived from the word "practical" because, in addition to editorial stories, it also contained a lot of useful information such as the calendar, public holidays and market data. The era of calendar stories began with Josef von Matt: For a total of 55 years, Josef von Matt senior himself wrote the illustrated literary history, which made up around a third of the entire Brattig. In 1970, Josef junior, known as Beppi, took over the helm and consolidated the roots of the Brattig in the Nidwalden population for decades.

Umweltradioaktivität und Strahlendosen in der Schweiz = Radioactivité de l'environnement et doses de rayonnements en Suisse = Radioattività dell'ambiente e dosi d'irradiazione in Svizzera

Iride, the journal of the Department of Economics, Health and Social Sciences (DEASS) at SUPSI, aims to reflect the highly multidisciplinary reality of the department and offers reflections from its three specialisations - economics, health and social work - as well as from the areas in which it operates (research, undergraduate and postgraduate education).
From 1891, the Electro-Homeopathic Institute in Geneva (later Sauter's Institute) published the monthly Annalen der Elektro-Homöopathie und Gesundheitspflege (Annals of Electro-Homeopathy and Health Care) to propagate the healing method developed in Switzerland and to substantiate the treatment successes with case studies. Albert Sauter (1846-1896), a pharmaceutical entrepreneur from Geneva and owner of a homeopathic pharmacy, played a key role in the Annals to promote the then controversial healing method. In 1903, the publishers changed the title and the journal was relaunched as Sauter's Annalen für Gesundheitspflege. The propagation of a generally healthy lifestyle with the support of naturopathic methods and remedies now took centre stage.
The Benedictine monks of Mariastein have been publishing a magazine since 1923, initially under the title Die Glocken von Mariastein.

The magazine, which has been called Mariastein since 2011, also covers the topic of pilgrimages as well as information on church services and programmes at the monastery.
The first Federal Constitution of 1848 introduced general freedom of establishment throughout the Confederation. This and the industrialisation that emerged in the second half of the 19th century led to many Catholics moving to the Protestant cantons on the Swiss Plateau in search of work. In order to ensure Catholic pastoral care abroad, the Zug doctor Melchior Zürcher founded the Domestic Mission in 1863, based on the Pius Association (now the Catholic People's Association).
The Bulletin pédagogique was published by the Société fribourgeoise d'éducation and appeared twelve times a year from 1872.
