Today, a memorandum of cooperation has been signed between the Institute of State History and the State Archive of the Akmola region. Within the framework of the joint project, it is planned to conduct applied scientific research “historical and cultural origins of the Akmola region”. The purpose of the research is to study the history of the formation and development of historical and cultural (administrative–territorial, urbanization, ethnodemographic) processes of the Akmola region in the XIX-XXI centuries. Thanks to this research work, recommendations on the sustainable development of social processes in the region will be prepared. These works coincide with the direction of modernization of the historical consciousness of our nation, raised at the second meeting of the National Kurultai in Turkestan. Today, a research group led by a scientist at the Institute of State History, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Alima Auanasova is studying the archival fund of the region.

Cooperation with regional archives will continue in this area.
