Geographic Abbreviations

Various genealogical projects, including the Obituary Daily Times and the RootsWeb Surname List, have tried to develop and use standard geographic abbreviations. This makes a lot of sense, but can be really annoying if you can't remember the abbreviations. This list has many/most of them. The left column is sorted by place name, the right column by abbreviation. Often, as in Argentina (ARG), one list would suffice, but some of them (eg, Algeria (DZA)) don't show up quite where you'd expect.

In addition, some countries have commonly accepted abbreviations for their regional breakdowns, such as states, provinces, counties, cantons, etc. The list here isn't exhaustive, but many abbreviations are available.
