00:00Rar 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.
00:23The 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 additions 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 that, there is a mechanical cleaning of the document
01:11with the most soft, natural, fingers and fingers.
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.
01:27Thank you.
01:28We place this document in water, and that's when the magic happens.
01:32The 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,
01:47we 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.
02:08Today, 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.
02:24Even 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.
02:35After 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 who were repressed
03:05and 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 five 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.
03:38The vacuum table draws out excess water, allowing the new material to bond with the original page.
03:46How much time would it take to just restore this single paper?
04:02It takes a lot of time.
04:09Together with Harvard's data center, the team restores rare books in Eastern languages and builds a unified digital rare books library.
04:17This year they plan to give new life to 20 books.
04:21Refereeing a book's writing the book by capturing this specific idea of 1855.
04:22This book was published in 1855.
04:23The book is published in 1855.
04:28It is a book of the witnesses.
04:29It is a poem of the Anakleston of Hivin.
04:32It was Xivin's royalty.
04:33It was on such a condition.
04:34And this is a two only two journals we must restore, and then we start to shoot.
04:40Rare books, especially Muslim religious publications, are bound entirely by hand.
04:46It's a delicate process that takes time and skill, but the effort is worth it.
04:51By preserving fragile pages today, this heritage remains alive for generations to come.
