The Bibliography of Chinese Administrative Geography contains information on approximately 75 published books concerning the administrative geography of China. The data set contains bibliographic information as well as the location of the books; the list of books include manuals on boundary changes, place names, geographic coding at national, provincial, and local levels, and other scholarly works.

The bibliography is primarily limited to works on the 1949-1994 period, and is housed at the University of Washington and at the Universities Service Center at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
