G.A. Imangaliyeva and E.S. Kydyrbekova, faculty members
of the Higher School of Arts and Humanities at Astana International University,
participated in professional development courses on document restoration
organized for restoration specialists at the National Center of Manuscripts and
Rare Books.
The five-day training programme focused on
strengthening professional competencies in document preservation and
restoration, as well as developing knowledge of traditional restoration
techniques. The programme included lectures on the following topics: “Tools and
Materials Used in Restoration,” “Document Stabilization,” “Traditional
Restoration,” and “Stitching Techniques and the Fundamentals of Bookbinding.”
During the training, participants expanded their
professional knowledge of document restoration methods, techniques for
extending the preservation life of documents, and the specific characteristics

Continuous professional development enables faculty
members to enhance the quality of education, strengthen their practical skills,
and share their expertise in preserving historical and cultural heritage with
