This collection of shapefiles represents the changes of provincial boundaries and names in Republican China (1912-1949). There were five different configurations during the Republican era.

The shapefiles were prepared using QGIS and are available as .gpkg files ready for import into any GIS software. Alternatively, if you are more comfortable with .shp  files, you will find the same set of layers in the  "xxx_Orig" zipped file.

The maps are also available through ArcGIS Online on our MCGD Historical GIS collection. To see all the map layers, click on the Content button and select the map you want to display. By default the name of the provinces are displayed in Chinese. For further instructions, see out blog post here.

The vector layers come with the following fields that are repeated across all maps, regardless of the period. The field columns include the following:

 

db_yg23f_h Internal ID field
