Originally published in both French and German under the title Journal officiel du Département des Forêts = Offizielles Journal des Wälder-Departements in 1814, the publication undergoes a number of title changes over the course of its publication history: Journal officiel du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg (1815), then Mémorial administratif du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg = Verwaltungs-Memorial des Gross-Herzogthums Lützemburg (1816 - 1831, 1832, N°1), Mémorial législatif et administratif du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg = Gesetzgebungen- und Verwaltungs-Memorial des Gross-Herzogthums Lützemburg (1832, N°1 (other version) - 1853), before becoming Mémorial du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg (1854 - 1940).
During the period from the Belgian Revolution (August 1830) to the Constitution of 1841, the Memorial appeared in parallel with the Arlon publication Mémorial administratif de la Province de Luxembourg = Verwaltungs-Memorial der Provinz Lützemburg.
The Luxemburger Zeitung = Journal de Luxembourg published the second part of the Memorial between January 1858 and September 1859.
Since 2 December 1915, the Mémorial has had an annex Recueil spécial des actes, extraits d'actes, procès-verbaux et documents relatifs aux sociétés commerciales, published in accordance with the law of 10 August 1915.
