The China Historical Geographic Information System (CHGIS) project was launched on January 8th 2001, with funding from the Luce Foundation. The CHGIS will establish a database of historical administrative units for different periods in Chinese History, and will also provide a base GIS platform for researchers to use for spatial analysis, temporal statistical modeling, and representation of selected historical units as digital maps.
