Here is some feedback from researchers who worked in the Archive during 2017.
Work of the Archive of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan on making retrospective information available is carried out in several ways: through publication of archival documents in newspaper and magazine articles, in collections of documents and through work with researchers in the Reading hall. A versatile and highly informative set of documents of the Archive attract attention of local and foreign researchers, studying the latest history of Kazakhstan. Researchers from Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Uzbekistan, the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Japan, France, Poland and other countries do their research work in the Reading hall.
So here is some feedback from researchers who worked in the Archive during 2017.

Many thanks to all staff of the Archive for their help in finding the documents necessary for me to write a thesis. The staff is really friendly, always ready to help. There are a lot of documents, there was not even enough time to work. I also hope that it will be possible to receive electronic versions remotely.

Head of the Reading hall of the Archive, Mrs.Akzhan Isayeva showed herself as an experienced person on customer service. She is smart, friendly and knows well the archival documents. I think that exactly such staff should work in the Archive of the President of our country. I wish her good health and success in her important work.

Dear staff of the Archive of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan! I had an opportunity to work in the archives of Kazakhstan, as well as in the archives of Russia (Moscow, St.Petersburg, Omsk) and Uzbekistan (Tashkent) during my research work (I started doing my research work in 1996). I’d like to highlight that it was exactly in the Reading hall of the Archive of the President of Kazakhstan that I met a staff of skilled, tactful and attentive reference librarians. From the first day of my research work in the Reading hall I (to my great surprise, because it didn’t happen with me in another archives) was surrounded by great attention and care! I would like to express my special gratitude to Mr. Bolegen Kasenov, Mrs. Akzhan Isayeva! Thanks to your care and sincere attitude towards researchers, i.e. to us - you encourage us for further creative findings! Thank you very much!
I would also like to note the merits of working in the Reading hall of the Archive in comparison with other archives: 1) an availability of an electronic catalog of all funds, which makes easier a work of a researcher; 2) a possibility to order up to 20 items at once; 3) an inventory order is carried out on the same day.
I’d like to express my great gratitude to you once again! I wish you health, prosperity and good luck!
