00:00Rare books and manuscripts preserved in Kazakhstan carry the written memory of its nomadic past.
00:08Worn by time, these fragile pictures require careful protection to survive for future generations.
00:14Join us as we explore rare additions and the delicate work that protects them today.
00:20Welcome to Kazakhstan. Welcome to modern nomads.
00:24The first stop on our journey is the National Library in Almaty.
00:31Here, one of its most remarkable treasures is preserved, a 12th century handwritten Quran.
00:44Thank you for this honor.
00:45This ancient relic is just one part of the library's vast collection,
00:49filled with parchment, leather and paper additions that require restoration.
00:53But before any repair begins, each book must be carefully prepared.
00:58If these books are biologically infected,
01:02or infected by some species,
01:05then we disinfect them first.
01:07Only after this, there is a mechanical cleaning of the documents
01:12with the most soft, natural, fingers and fingers.
01:16With time, pages yellow grow fragile and show the marks of age.
01:20Before restoration can move forward,
01:22conservators gently remove these changes along with traces of earlier repairs.
01:28We place this document in water and that's when the magic happens.
01:33The water helps neutralize acidity in the paper,
01:36preparing the document for the next stage,
01:38the careful removal of materials left behind from previous restoration.
01:43After that, when the document is dried and restored,
01:47it will have such a shape.
01:53Only then can restoration truly begin.
01:56For that, we travel to Astana, to the archive of the President.
02:00Here, documents dating back to 1918 trace the history of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic,
02:06from its founding to the present day.
02:09Today, archivists and restorers work here with personal files,
02:12the records of people repressed during the Soviet era.
02:16These documents may look hopeless, but they are not.
02:25Even in this condition, they can still be restored.
02:28To restore these pages, specialists take a careful, patient approach,
02:32reinforcing damaged areas layer by layer.
02:35In Japanese paper, what is its advantage?
02:38It is that it is that it is to open its molecules.
02:41These molecules are necessary for the connection between the restored document
02:47and the paper that is placed on this document.
02:50It should be attached to a puzzle.
02:53After restoration, each document is placed in a storeroom with strictly controlled temperature and humidity.
02:59Today, the archive holds around 700,000 personal case files of people
03:04who were repressed and just as many other politically significant records.
03:08Back in Almaty, a golden landmark stands out against the winter craze,
03:13a quiet lighthouse of knowledge drawing the eye from afar.
03:16Under its roof is the scientific library, home to more than 5 million items,
03:21tens of thousands of rare books here await restoration.
03:25The work is carried out by the restoration center within the scientific complex,
03:30using advanced techniques.
03:32Here is a vacuum table.
03:34We are making a waste.
03:36The books come to us with wasted lines,
03:40and often the waste is straight to the text.
03:43And to make a waste in a stick, not touching the text,
03:48and we do it with a waste.
03:50A paper pulp is carefully poured onto the damaged area.
03:53The vacuum table draws out excess water,
03:56allowing the new material to bond with the original page.
03:59How much time would it take to just restore this single paper?
04:03Very much time.
04:05One sheet can be restored for a whole day.
04:09Together with Harvard's Davis Center,
04:11the team restores rare books in Eastern languages
04:14and builds a unified digital rare books library.
04:17This year they plan to give new life to 20 books.
04:21The book is written from 1855.
04:24The book is written from 1855.
04:25It is written from the unique books.
04:27It is written from the temple,
04:30which belongs to the temple.
04:32It is from the Hivinian temple.
04:34It was in such a state.
04:35And these are the last two books,
04:37which we must restore,
04:39and then we will start to the shithub.
04:42Rare books, especially Muslim religious publications,
04:44are bound entirely by hand.
04:46It is a delicate process that takes time and skill.
04:49But the effort is worth it.
04:51By preserving fragile pages today,
04:53this heritage remains alive for generations to come.
