Abstract

Relevance. The collection and study of Kazakh folklore are crucial for preserving the rich cultural heritage and ensuring its transmission to future generations. Understanding the processes involved in gathering, processing, and publishing folklore materials is essential for advancing the field of folklore studies and for maintaining the cultural identity of the Kazakh people.

Purpose. This study aims to investigate the methods and practices of collecting Kazakh folklore in the first half of the XX century, highlighting the importance of systematic collection and the role of individual researchers in preserving and disseminating oral traditions.

Methodology. The research involves a comprehensive analysis of historical records and scholarly works on the collection of Kazakh folklore, focusing on the techniques used by researchers to gather material directly from oral sources and the subsequent processes of transcription and preparation for publication.

Results. The study reveals that the process of collecting Kazakh folklore in the early XX century was meticulous and required careful reproduction of oral narratives onto paper, ensuring their authenticity and accuracy. This method has been instrumental in preserving the genre-specific characteristics of folklore and providing a solid foundation for future research.

Conclusions. The systematic collection and documentation of Kazakh folklore are vital for safeguarding the cultural heritage and supporting scholarly endeavors in folklore studies. By adhering to rigorous scientific standards in the collection and publication processes, researchers can ensure the integrity and longevity of this invaluable cultural resource.
