Scholarly bibliographies are created to assist and stimulate scholars and students with teaching, study, and research in a particular discipline. They also can be used to evaluate and measure the collective accomplishments of scholars of a particular discipline over a period of time, and they can offer much information about the contents and specialization of such research and publications activities. While the primary recognition of scholarship rightly is owed to original works and authors, many people involved with such research can appreciate having access to extensive bibliographies. At least, that is the hope for this compendium. This collection is a result of a long process of study and research on the geography of Mexico and the present countries of Central America.

This bibliography presents as comprehensive a collection of geographical titles on Mexico and Central America as is possible. It represents considerable efforts expended in finding such works, and the collection extends back in time as much as possible. Included are atlases, books, monographs, chapters, scholarly articles, dissertations, and theses. These materials derive from many countries and scholars. Most of these entries are written in English and Spanish, but there are many others that are written in French, German, Japanese, and other languages.

The contents are organized into nine chapters. These include The Region as a Whole, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama. Each chapter begins with a section listing atlases, books, monographs, chapters, articles, dissertations, and theses of a general geographical content. These are followed by sections on cultural and social geography, economic geography, historical geography, physical geography, political geography, and urban geography. These sections are further subdivided into specific and recognizable subtopics of the more general topics. Entries are listed in each subsection alphabetically by authors last name. No attempt is made here to record primary data resources or government documents. The entries are arranged and written in the University of Chicago format, with authors listed first, then title of article, name of journal, volume and number, year of publication, and page numbers. For books, atlases, and monographs, author names are written first, then title, place of publication, publisher, and date of publication. In the event that no entries were found relating to particular subtopics, references to such subtopics were unlisted.
