Year Authority / Notes

1759
According to p.6 of Guggisberg & Wahlen (1958), the first session of this society happened in January of 1759.

In the first several decades of its existence, the Society published a journal. But, as noted on p.118 of Guggisberg & Wahlen (1958), there was a significant period after 1798 when the Society did not have a periodical publication. On p.118 of Guggisberg & Wahlen (1958) we learn that in 1846 Wilhelm von Fellenberg began to publish the weekly publication, Wochenblatt für Landwirtschaft und Gartenbau which was much simpler and more popular than the Society's previous sequence of journals, and which consisted of summaries of discussions in the daily press; its readership was confined mainly to members of the Society. We also learn that in 1849 the periodical was reorganized and appeared fortnightly under the title Bernische Blätter für Landwirtschaft, Wald- und Gartenbau; each member received a copy of this free of charge. On p.140, we learn that it was not until this change in 1849 that this became an official publication of the Society.

According to pp.118-119 of Guggisberg & Wahlen (1958), in late 1857, the scope of the periodical was broadened to include articles, and the name became Bernische Blätter für Landwirtschaft, Mitteilungs- und Verhandlungsblatt der bernischen Oekonomischen Gesellschaft.

On pp.209-210 of Guggisberg & Wahlen (1958), we learn that on January 1, 1890 this society merged with the Gemeinnützige Gesellschaft des Kantons Bern to form the Oekonomische und Gemeinnützige Gesellschaft des Kantons Bern.
