Abstract

The paper presents theoretical overview of written heritage preservation issues with an emphasis on preservation management. Systematic and comprehensive approach to preservation issues includes understanding and defining preservation aim and purpose, preservation principles, terminology and methodology as well as frameworks in which preservation is conducted such as strategic, economic, legal, institutional and other. Such comprehensive approach is implemented in preservation management. Preservation management can be defined as a systematic and planned organization of human and financial resources and other infrastructure and activities necessary to insure longevity, welfare and usability of library materials, according to the specific mission of the institution. The paper analyzes five aspects of preservation management and examines the possibility of their use in planning and organizing preservation activities.
