This shape file contains a set of 22,451 address points in Shanghai in the Republican era located on a 1989 map. The shape file that we developed over time from the four volumes of the two editions of the Shanghai shi hanghao lutu lu (see below) was limited by the spatial scope of the maps therein. It covered only the foreign settlements (1939) and both the foreign settlements, Nanshi, and Zhabei in 1947. Yet, there were many buildings, institutions or private residences in our sources that were located in areas not covered by the Shanghai shi hanghao lutu lu. For this reason, we reproduced the street grid of 1989 with related street numbers. The source for this digitizing of the street grid and street numbers is Shanghai Shi shangyong ditu ce bianji weiyuanhui. Shanghai shi shangyong ditu ce 上海市商用地圖冊 (Shanghai business atlas). 2 vols. Shanghai: Shanghai fanyi chuban gongsi, 1989.
