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 editions and the delicate work that protects them today.
00:20Welcome to Kazakhstan. Welcome to Modern Nomads.
00:23The first stop on our journey is the National Library in Almaty.
00:30Here, one of its most remarkable treasures is preserved, a 12th-century handwritten Quran.
00:35This ancient relic is just one part of the library's vast collection,
00:49filled with parchment, leather and paper editions that require restoration.
00:53But before any repair begins, each book must be carefully prepared.
00:57If these are biologically infected books,
01:00or infected by some species,
01:04then we disinfect them first.
01:06Only after this, there is a mechanical cleaning of the document
01:11with the most soft, natural, fingers and sticks.
01:15With time, pages yellow grow fragile and show the marks of age.
01:19Before restoration can move forward,
01:21Conservators gently remove these changes along with traces of earlier repairs.
01:26Thank you.
01:28We place this document in water and that's when the magic happens.
01:33The water helps neutralize the acidity in the paper,
01:36preparing the document for the next stage,
01:38the careful removal of materials left behind from previous restoration.
01:43После того, как документ высушится, отреставрируется,
01:46он у нас будет иметь вот такой вот вид.
01:53Only then can restoration truly begin.
01:56For that, we travel to Astana, to the archive of the President.
01:59Here, documents dating back to 1918 trace the history of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic,
02:06from its founding to the present day.
02:08Today, archivists and restorers work here with personal files,
02:12the records of people repressed during the Soviet era.
02:15These documents may look hopeless, but they are not.
02:25Even in this condition, they can still be restored.
02:27To restore these pages, specialists take a careful, patient approach,
02:32reinforcing damaged areas layer by layer.
02:35In Japanese paper, its advantage is that it opens its molecules.
02:40These molecules are necessary for the connection between the restored document and the paper,
02:48which 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.
03:12A 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 using advanced techniques.
03:31A paper pulp is carefully poured onto the damaged area.
03:52The vacuum table draws out excess water, allowing the new material to bond with the original page.
03:58How much time would it take to just restore this single paper?
04:03It takes a lot of time.
04:05One leaf can be restored for a whole day.
04:09Together with Harvard's data center, the 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.
04:20The Quran and the book is written from 1855.
04:24The book is written from the unique books.
04:26There are the books that belong to the king of the king.
04:31This is the king of the king of the king.
04:33It was in such a state.
04:35And this is the last two books we must restore, and then we will start to the shithub.
04:41Rare books, especially Muslim religious publications, are bound entirely by hand.
04:46It's a delicate process that takes time and skill.
04:49But the effort is worth it.
04:51By preserving fragile pages today, this heritage remains alive for generations to come.
