The historical picture of international cooperation of Kashkadarya region in the socio-cultural sphere for 1991–2026 has not yet been described as a single system, and this creates the research problem. The purpose of the study is to identify the formation, institutionalization, and gradual expansion of these links on the basis of archival and press materials. Source criticism, historical-comparative analysis, hermeneutic interpretation, and chronological classification were applied; 37 archival documents, 12 memoranda, 9 reports, and 18 periodical press items were examined. During the analysis, 6 thematic codes were distinguished: educational exchange, cultural events, local institutions, nongovernmental initiatives, symbolic diplomacy, and digital memory. The results showed development in 3 stages: in 1991–2000 initiative contacts prevailed, in 2001–2010 institutionalization became dominant, and in 2011–2026 network expansion was the main pattern.
