The magazine is the first historical one in Albania.

It had separate sections for linguistics, literary studies, and history. After the first issue with this name, it promptly changed to Buletin i Institutit të Shkencave (Bulletin of the Institute of Sciences), published by the Albanian Institute of Science (1948-1957) which had replaced the Institute of Studies. The magazine preserved it previous structure. In 1952, it split in two separate publications: Buletini për Shkencat Natyrore (Bulletin for the Natural Sciences), and Bulletini për Shkencat Shoqërore (Bulletin for Social Studies). The later one focused on linguistics, history, archaeology, ethnography, etc. Articles started being accompanied by a resume in French.
In 1955, the corresponding sections of social studies merged into the Albanian Institute of History and Linguistics (Albanian: Instituti i Historisë dhe i Gjuhësisë), which affiliated with the University of Tirana during 1957-1972. During 1957-1964, the magazine came out as Buletin i Universitetit të Tiranës - seria shkencat shoqërore (Bulletin of the University of Tirana - series on social studies). After 1964, the Institute of History and Linguistics started publishing Studime Historike (one issue every three months), and the other magazine Studime Filologjike (Philological studies).
