Arbido is the Swiss professional journal for archives, libraries and documentation centres. It is trilingual and published quarterly, under the umbrella of two professional associations Bibliothek Information Schweiz (BIS) and the Verein Schweizerischer Archivarinnen und Archivare VSA).

Arbido is aimed at information and documentation professionals. It covers topics related to safeguarding and transmitting knowledge.

Arbido was founded by the Verband der Schweizer Bibliotheken und Bibliothekare (BBS), the Schweizerische Vereinigung der Dokumentation (SVD) – which merged in 2008 to create Bibliothek Information Schweiz (BIS) – and by the Verein Schweizerischer Archivare (VSA).

The journal was originally published in two separate editions, a yellow newsletter (Arbido B) and the orange journal (Arbido R). The newsletter mainly provided information about the life of the associations and the journal published technical articles. Arbido S completed this landscape with special issues. These different editions were merged into a monthly journal in 1994. From 2006, two different editions were again published with the creation of a monthly online publication and a printed quarterly journal. Since 2017, the journal is only published online.
