From Cassackia to Kazakhstan

Localization of Kazakhstan on European, Russian and Asian Maps from the 16th to the first half of the 20th centuries

• a remarkable collection of beautiful and informative maps, many over double pages
• an illustrative account of the development of this part of central Asia over more than four centuries

From Cassackia to Kazakhstan is a collection of fascinating historical maps. The uniqueness of the collection lies in the fact that all the geographical maps presented are original and authentic historical documents from the 16th to the 20th centuries, starting with a 1540 map ornamented with sea creatures.

It is particularly noteworthy that in addition to maps from Europe, Russia, and the United States, maps published in China and Japan are also included.

The maps which have undergone expert verification for authenticity present the development of Kazakh statehood and demonstrate the changing boundaries of the historical territory leading to modern Kazakhstan. This enables the reader to clearly appreciate the historical process of the evolution of Kazakh statehood.

The maps and illustrations are compiled in chronological order and each map is accompanied by a bibliographic description with additional information, including the origin of the map.

This collection of 51 antique historical maps was donated to the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan to provide public access for anyone interested in the history of Kazakhstan.
