The traditional Republican Open Doors Day "Archives and Future Generations" was held at the National Archive of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The event was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Kazakhstan, deputies of the Kurultai, archive employees, educators, students, and schoolchildren. The purpose of the project is to promote the historical significance of the archive among young people, and to popularize the value of national heritage and unique documents. Exhibitions and tours featuring valuable documents from the National Archive's collection were organized for participants. This year, the program took place in an interactive format. Primary school students enjoyed an educational performance by puppet theater artists. In addition, the work of the archive was introduced to children through video clips generated with the help of artificial intelligence. The public was shown school diaries, letters, and other personal documents from 50–60 years ago. At a special creative station, children wrote letters addressed to the generation living 50 years from now. These letters were handed over to the National Archive for safekeeping for half a century. Thematic events were also organized in other state archives of the country. At the Central State Archive of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Almaty, original documents from the personal collections of Kanysh Satpayev, Kulyash Baiseitova, and Bauyrzhan Momyshuly were presented to the public. At the Central State Archive of Film, Photo, and Sound Documents of the Republic of Kazakhstan, modern technologies for the preservation, digitization, and restoration of materials were demonstrated, and schoolchildren watched an excerpt from the film document "Almaty – Garden City." Meanwhile, the Central State Archive of Scientific and Technical Documentation organized an exhibition of rare and valuable documents. It is worth noting that the Open Doors Day is held annually in all state archives of the country. This year, about 700 events were organized across the republic, involving more than 15,000 people.
