Portal «History of Kazakhstan» is one of the most expected projects dedicated to the national history of our country from ancient times to the present. On September 25, 2013 Akorda hosted the official presentation of the web-portal «History of Kazakhstan». This March, the portal was transferred to the JSC «Kazcontent», which is engaged in its further promotion, technical support and content filling.

At the seminar the Head of the Internet-project «History of Kazakhstan» spoke about site’s mission, the design’s usability for the vast volume of information, variety of interactive elements, digital educational resources, interactive map, future special projects and to name but a few.

For example, the interactive map on the portal is an exclusive electronic guide on cultural monuments and remarkable sights of our country. The map visually and clearly tells the user about the places where he was born and lives.

In a short time the portal will launch four special projects. They will demonstrate the work of a group of scientific experts on investigation and collection of Kazakh nation’s legends, information about the sacred places and significance of national ornaments and patterns.

At the completion of the speech of the Head of the Internet-project «History of Kazakhstan» the workshop’s participants expressed their opinions on the necessity of such project’s creation, asked questions about the sources of materials on the portal. The staff of e-history.kz heard the assessment of their work, and also discussed issues of further development of the portal.
