HISTORICAL MILESTONES IN HISTORY CENTRAL STATE MUSEUM OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

The Central State Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan has existed for more than 190 years. The history of its origin goes back to the 30s of the XIX century and has undergone various, both positive and negative milestones in its development. The periods of formation and functioning of the museum are described by a sufficient number of researchers based on a fairly representative source base. However, in the context of presenting extensive material on the history of the museum, there are places for making certain adjustments and additions, which is what the publication proposed to the reader is aimed at. In the article, the authors seek to consider historical milestones in the history of the Central State Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Materials and methods: Materials of the Central State Archive of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Central State Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan, State Archives of the Orinbor region, scientific publications.

In the process of work, a set of classical methodological possibilities was used, highlighting the chronicle of events in the formation and development of the Central Museum of Kazakhstan. Among them, the well-known historical and genetic method was used, based on the principle of historicism in the pre-moderation milestones of one of the oldest museum institutions in the country. The use of the historical-comparative method, coupled with a systematic approach, made it possible, through analogies and differences, to build a canvas of the historical appearance of the museum in the conditions of a particular period of national history, to determine the degree of integrity of its consistent development at the level of isomorphism. Reliance on the method of actualization, determined the possibility of predicting historical phenomena associated with the formation of the museum potential of Kazakhstan, through the prism of considering the origin and functioning of the stock collections of its Central Museum. The widespread use of archival documentary materials, when restoring a possibly reliable century-old chronicle of the Central Museum, aroused interest in the equally widespread use of content analysis, which makes it possible to operate with a variety of historical data on a specific analytical problem.
