New year's paper of the GGG
The New Year's Gazette of the GGG has been published annually since 1821 by the Society for the Good and Non-Profit Basel (GGG), each dealing with a topic from the history of Basel .
In 1819 the GGG decided to publish a New Year's paper for Basel's (male) youth based on the example of other cantons. The first volume with the life story of GGG founder Isaak Iselin appeared in 1821 . With the exception of the years 1833/34, which were overshadowed by the separation of the cantons, a new volume was published every year. In the course of the 19th century, the New Years Papers developed into a scientifically sound publication. This prompted the commission entrusted with the publication to delete the addition "for Basel's youth" in 1872. Well-known historians such as Jacob Burckhardt and Rudolf Wackernagel are among the authors of the New Year's Papers . Today the GGG New Year's Gazette is published by Schwabe Verlag .
