Cartographica Helvetica is a communication tool between scholars, map collectors and dealers. It aims to provide information on every aspect of early maps, their history as well as production methods or biographical background.

Cartographica Helvetica is published in German (with English and French summaries of the feature articles). However, the themes are international in scope. The articles deal with both Swiss and international maps and mapmakers.

Cartographica Helvetica is considered to be the journal of record in German-speaking countries. The collected volumes amount to a valuable reference library.
