Depends on what kind of chronology you want. If you want chronological from the beginning of the universe to the end of time, pick up AHistory, which puts all of Doctor Who (up to like 2011) in chronological order and makes a lot of informed guesses into the placement of each story. This includes novels, comics, spinoffs, audios, all of it. It's textbook-size and is a great reference book.

There exists a website that attempts to order all of Doctor Who in a coherent chronological order from the TARDIS/Doctor's POV (and the accompanying spinoffs), and I'll try to find it, but there's way too much conflict, especially with stuff like the 7th and 8th Doctor, for there to be a coherent narrative. I'll look for it though.

I own it. It's glorious.

It's chronological by history, not by the Doctor's timeline.

It's not updated for the latest new Who novels or Big Finish audios, but it's the best out there afaik.

Probably the best guide for that approach would be the book Ahistory, which attempts to place all the episodes - and the novels and Big Finish audios - in to a single chronology.

It's an amazing book, and does a pretty good job, given the number of outright contrdictions that have cropped up over the years. The latest edition - the third - is slowly drifting out of date again now (up to 2011, IIRC), but I expect that another edition is in the works.

Yeah that's probably the best for an overview, but I also like this blog's timelines for the companions/monsters etc:

There's also a book 'AHistory' by Lance Parkin:

I haven't read it myself, and it hasn't been updated for a few years but I've heard good things.
