Abstract
The aim of this work is to analyze the preservation of written heritage in Croatia, focusing primarily on the written heritage in libraries. The basic presumption is that preservation is a complex and comprehensive process that involves many different and seemingly diverse aspects. Therefore, its efficiency lies in preservation management. The research of the Croatian written heritage preservation context is theoretically and methodologically grounded in relevant preservation management literature and the analyses of the organization of preservation in other countries. In accordance with that, the aim of the research was to investigate, analyse and evaluate the preservation of written heritage in Croatia, observed through legal, financial, educational and institutional framework. Based on the results gathered through interviews, a starting point and further steps are suggested for creating the preservation management model for written heritage in Croatia, as well as the responsibility and the initiative in its implementation. The purpose of this work is to contribute to more efficient and systematic preservation of written heritage in libraries.
