BR21882416 “Historical Geography of Central Asia” is a three-year research program (2023-2025) funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Kazakhstan and based at the Eurasian Research Institute of the Akhmet Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University.
The program aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis by comparing historical maps, annals, manuscripts, and archival records from various sources (Turkic, Arab, Persian, Chinese, Manchu, Mongolian, Dzungar, European, and Russian) from the 11th to the 19th centuries. It also seeks to comparatively study the historical toponyms of Central Asia and the Kazakh Steppe.
Scientific Novelty and Significance
Historical geography is a complex field that explores ancient historical records and historical maps in various languages. In the contemporary landscape of national historical science, historical geographical research occupies a critical yet underdeveloped position. The study of the historical geography of Kazakhstan and the Central Asian region is a highly pertinent issue, using various sources from East and West covering the 11th and 19th centuries, including diverse geographical maps and annals, manuscripts, archival records, and dictionaries of historical geographic names. The program endeavors to contribute to the advancement of national historical scholarship by introducing historical maps and archival documents into scientific circulation.
The program employs methods such as document analysis, historical, etymological, comparative-historical, diachronic, and comparative-linguistic approaches to collect, analyze, sort, and compare historical data found in historical maps, imperial archive collections, and manuscript sources from Eastern and Western countries. To achieve this, research is conducted by selecting and comparing historical cartographic materials stored in libraries, museums, and archives in Europe, Russia, the USA, China, Türkiye, Iran, Japan, and Taiwan.
