It was established by Elfriede Sponring, Hans Dollfuß, and Markus Hatzer. The publisher also maintains or has maintained offices in Vienna and, from 2001 to 2021, in Bolzano (Bozen). The publishing program focuses on the cultural and social sciences, with particular strengths in history, contemporary history, politics, cultural studies, and pedagogy.

The publisher releases monographs, edited volumes, textbooks, specialized journals, and academic book series. StudienVerlag is part of the StudienVerlags-Gruppe, which also includes Löwenzahn Verlag, Skarabaeus Verlag, Universitätsverlag Wagner, Michael Wagner Verlag, and Haymon Verlag. The group's imprints cover a range of academic and general-interest publishing.

Its publications are held in many academic libraries across German-speaking countries and are listed in international library catalogs. In addition to print publications, StudienVerlag continuously expands its digital offerings, including e-books and accessible PDF editions, partly via the Inlibra platform. Selected works are also published in Open Access. StudienVerlag publishes several academic journals, including MONTFORT (a regional history journal for Vorarlberg), Österreichische Zeitschrift für Geschichtswissenschaften (OeZG), schulheft, and formerly Geschichte und Region/Storia e regione (2008–2024) and Transversal. Zeitschrift für Jüdische Studien (2006–14th volume). The publisher also maintains ongoing book series such as Felder-Jahrbuch, Forschungen und Beiträge zur Wiener Stadtgeschichte, Innsbrucker Forschungen zur Zeitgeschichte, and others. Its authors include Leo Andergassen, Christina Antenhofer, Klaus Brandstätter, Michael Gehler, and many more.

StudienVerlag was founded in 1990 by Elfriede Sponring, Hans Dollfuß, and Markus Hatzer as an Austrian academic publisher based in Innsbruck. From 2001 to 2021, the publisher also operated an office in Bolzano (Bozen), reflecting its engagement with South Tyrolean and regional history. Over the years, it has grown into the StudienVerlags-Gruppe, a publishing group that includes several imprints: Löwenzahn Verlag, Skarabaeus Verlag, Universitätsverlag Wagner, Michael Wagner Verlag, and Haymon Verlag. The group's expansion includes the acquisition of Universitätsverlag Wagner in 2010, an Innsbruck-based academic publisher with roots dating back to the 17th century, which continues as an imprint. In 2020, the Michael Wagner Verlag was re-founded as an imprint of the group, reviving the historical name of the printer Michael Wagner, who established a printing business in Innsbruck in 1639 and later became court printer under Claudia de' Medici. StudienVerlag has built a reputation for publishing in the cultural and social sciences, with a strong list in history, contemporary history, politics, cultural studies, and pedagogy. It also publishes works on women's and gender studies, Austrian contemporary history, regional history, and monument preservation. The publisher releases around 50 new titles annually and works with universities and research institutions across the German-speaking world. Its publications are widely held in academic libraries and listed in international catalogs. In recent years, the publisher has expanded its digital offerings, including e-books and accessible PDFs via the Inlibra platform, and offers selected works in Open Access. Among its notable journals are MONTFORT, a regional history journal for Vorarlberg published twice a year; Österreichische Zeitschrift für Geschichtswissenschaften (OeZG), published three times a year; schulheft, a critical pedagogy journal published four times a year; and formerly Geschichte und Region/Storia e regione (2008–2024) and Transversal. Zeitschrift für Jüdische Studien (2006–14th volume). The publisher also maintains numerous book series, such as Felder-Jahrbuch (since 2019), Forschungen und Beiträge zur Wiener Stadtgeschichte, Historische Texte des Lern- und Gedenkorts Schloss Hartheim (since 2011), Innsbrucker Forschungen zur Zeitgeschichte, Jahrbuch der Michael-Gaismair-Gesellschaft (since 2000), Mitteilungen des österreichischen Staatsarchivs (since 2001), Österreichische Beiträge zur Geschichtsdidaktik (since 2008), Ötztaler Museen Schriften (since 2018), Schriftenreihe des Archivs der Zeitgenossen (since 2014), Schriftenreihe der OeAD, Studien zu Geschichte und Politik (since 2001), and Viktimologie und Opferrechte (VOR).
