initiative, in 1872, a collection entitled "Materials for 
statistics of the Turkestan region" was published. From 1872 
to 1876, five collections were published. In January 1887, 
the Syrdarya (Tashkent), Samarkand (Samarkand), Fergana 
(New Margilan) regional statistics committees were formed. 
The committees publish regional reviews that cover natural 
and industrial, national economy, irrigation systems, roads, 
population and occupations, tribute and taxes, administrative 
structure, health. Detailed information on conservation and 
education, public landscaping, weather observations, etc. 
was given. "Reviews of the Syrdarya region" for 1886-1913 
(Tashkent, 1887-1916), "Farg" for 1884-1913. Reviews of 
the native region ”(Yangi-Margilan-Skobelov, 1889-1916). 
The Turkestan People's Library, opened in 1870, also began 
to collect books describing the research conducted in the 
country and its results. By 1917, 80,000 volumes of books 
had been collected. The Russian bibliographer V.I. Mejov 
carried it in St. Petersburg for 20 years, from 1868. In 1888, 
the number of large volumes in the "Turkistan Collection" 
reached 416 (data collected in 1867-1887). Sable these 
works were suspended due to lack of funds from the 
administration. 
V.I. Mejov compiled a systematic and albatross 
index of the "Turkistan Collection" consisting of three 
books. In 1872, A.L. Kun and other orientalists compiled the 
famous "Album of Turkestan". 
Prior to 1917, a total of 13 volumes of the 
Turkestan branch of the Russian Geographical Society's 
"Akhboroti" (1898-1917) were published by scientific 
societies in the country, and the Turkestan Agricultural 
Society published the journal "Turkistan Agriculture". 142 
issues (1906-1917), 60 issues (1915-1917) centuries and 
books were published in the magazine "Turkistan Dehqoni". 
Some work has also been done in the field of 
economics. A.F. Middendorf's "Fergana Valley" and many 
other similar works have not lost their scientific significance. 
In 1870, the Central Asian Society of Scientists was 
founded. The society set itself the goal of collecting, 
processing, and disseminating information on the history, 
geography, ethnography, statistics, and economy of Central 
Asia. Its first open meeting was held on January 28, 
1871[4,p.13].
