On January 21, 2026, the National Center of Manuscripts and Rare Books organized a traveling exhibition titled “Written Heritage of the History of the Great Steppe” at Astana IT University, presenting it to faculty members and students.

The purpose of the exhibition was to introduce visitors to the history of the development of written heritage—from original manuscripts to modern printed publications—as well as to the culture of writing. The exhibition aimed to raise interest in historical and cultural heritage and to emphasize the importance of preserving manuscripts.

The exhibition featured valuable manuscripts and rare books from the National Center’s collection in Arabic, Persian, and Chagatai languages, as well as publications written in Töte script and Latin script, including small-format books.
