Moldir Tynaikulova, Academic Secretary of the State Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve «Esik» and a member of the National Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the UNESCO Memory of the World Program, took part in the events. The General Assembly presented Kazakhstan’s documentary heritage, the work of the National Committee, and the results of the 2025-2026 nomination cycle.
One of the key outcomes was the addition of 21 nominations to the regional register, including two submitted by Kazakhstan: the «Issyk Inscription» on a silver bowl discovered in the Issyk burial mound, and the Collection of Mashkhur-Jusup Kopeev’s printed editions published in 1907.
Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan joined the regional register for the first time. The nomination dossier for the «Issyk Inscription» was prepared by the State Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve «Esik» under the Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The inclusion of these nominations in the regional register will help bring Kazakhstan’s documentary heritage to a wider audience across Asia and the Pacific.
During the business trip, Moldir Tynaikulova learned about the work of the National Archives of Indonesia and its practices in preserving and restoring archival documents and making them accessible to researchers. The international seminar also provided an opportunity to exchange experience with representatives of archives, museums and libraries from across the region and to expand professional contacts.
We thank all the specialists and colleagues who contributed to presenting Kazakhstan’s documentary heritage internationally!
