Cartographica Helvetica is the leading, biannual, scientific journal on map history and the history of cartography in German-speaking countries with English and French-language summaries of the main articles.

Cartographica Helvetica serves as a means of communication for map researchers, collectors and lovers. The journal has been published since 1990 by the Map History Working Group in close cooperation with the Swiss Society for Cartography . The members of the working group make up the editorial team. They examine all the articles submitted and look after the authors from the first contact to the time the article is printed.

To further disseminate and use the knowledge gathered in the magazine, Cartographica Helvetica was completely digitized in summer 2009 and prepared for full-text search. The digitized journal was published on the E-Periodica platform . The latest editions are, however, made available with a time delay.

The specialist journal Cartographica Helvetica has been published in a different form since 2015 . The content of the magazine is now focused on a single topic. Since then, the issues have been published at irregular intervals to keep them up to date. The Cartographica Helvetica publishing house in Murten occasionally publishes special issues and facsimiles of manuscript and rare old maps.
