The Catalogue of HI Parameter of galaxies (CHIPA) is an extension for Martin, M. C Catalogue (1998). CHIPA was built to provide the most relevant parameters derived from the Hextsc{I} line emission for galaxies. Although the data from HI Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS) survey (single dish 1997-2002) is already available in CHIPAs database, in this article we highlight high resolution HI interferometer data for galaxies published since 1953 until today. The catalogue contains about a hundred galaxies from both hemispheres including different morphological types. The information was gathered from LVHIS, THINGS, VLA-ANGST, Little THINGS, FIGGS and WHISP; some of the most important parameters presents are: optical diameter, blue magnitude, distance, morphological type, Hextsc{I} extension of the galaxy, velocity resolution, etc. Furthermore, whenever it was available, the Hextsc{I} distribution, velocity distribution and velocity dispersion maps are contained. We aims to make the bibliographic quests easier for astronomers, through a searchable database soon available (the web page is under construction). The database was created using mysql (sql, Structured Query Language, an open-source relational database management system), while the web page was built using html (Hypertext Markup Language) and php (Hypertext Preprocessor).
