3 March 2015. How many students were enrolled in Winter Semester 1914/15? In which year was former Federal Councillor Ruth Dreifuss awarded the title of Honorary Senator? What did the Dalai Lama speak about on the occasion of his visit to the HSG in 1995? It is to provide answers to these and other questions about the HSG's history that the University Archives have made the Online Publication Archive available.

Research in publications from 1899

The University Archives have been digitalising their most important sources of HSG history for the last eight years. As regards the most important publications, the objective of making the documents publicly accessible has been attained. Anyone who is interested has the possibility of conducting a full-text research in six publications.

  • Course directories from 1899

  • HSG Information and its successors HSGBlatt and HSG Focus from 1977
  • Hochschulnachrichten and the successor alumni magazine alma from 1935
  • The student magazine Prisma from 1959
  • Zürcher/St.Galler Student from 1958 to 1959

All in all, information is currently available from more than 1,100 publications extending to over 50,000 pages. The search can be limited to certain years and publication series.
