Published by the HAG since 1902, the BZGA has appeared since 1925 mostly as an annual volume. It mainly comprises articles relating to Basel and the surrounding area and encompasses all domains and methods of historical research: political, social, economic and cultural history as well as archaeology and the history of art. Since 2005, every volume has focused on a single main topic, supplemented by individual articles and the HAG's annual report.

The Historische und Antiquarische Gesellschaft zu Basel ("Historical and Antiquarian Society of Basel", or HAG) was founded in 1836. It works to cultivate and pass on historical knowledge, puts on lecture series and, in addition to publishing the Basler Zeitschrift für Geschichte und Altertumskunde ("Basel Journal for History and Archaeology", or BZGA), is involved in the publication of primary material in the "Basler Chroniken" ("Basel Chronicles") series.
