The Committee dealt with issues of administrative management, economic development, social policy, and cultural progress, which allowed it to exert significant influence on shaping the outlook of the regions of the Russian Empire, including Kazakh steppe. The aim of this study is to analyze the activities of the Siberian Committee regarding the introduction of administrative and territorial reforms in Middle zhuz during the 19th century, based on archival documents.
