Carlitz has introduced q-analogues of the Bernoulli numbers around 1950. We obtain a representation of these q-Bernoulli numbers (and some shifted version) as moments of some orthogonal polynomials. This also gives factorisations of Hankel determinants of q-Bernoulli numbers, and continued fractions for their generating series. Some of these results are q-analogues of known results for Bernoulli numbers, but some are specific to the q-Bernoulli setting.
