Written heritage preservation management is a complex field that includes the organization and planning of both financial and human resources as well as all activities that enable a comprehensive approach to written heritage preservation. A comprehensive approach to the written heritage preservation management is made possible through activities in the strategic-theoretical, economic-legal, educational, material-operational, and cultural-social aspects. Previous research has established this complexity of the field and its effective and successful implementation, but a gap in previous research can be found in the ways or paths by which this is achieved. The answer to this provides insight into the use of scientific research methods since they build (scientific) knowledge and enable reliable research results based on which is possible to make informed and goal-oriented decisions regardless of the field of human activity in which they are applied. Consideration of the written heritage preservation management field from the point of view of the methodology of special scientific research included an analytical-synthetic approach to literature, which achieved an understanding of the epistemological premises of science and the use of methods, an understanding of the methodology of scientific research, and an in-depth consideration of the area of written heritage preservation management. As part of the research, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted as well as a survey, which provided insight into the practice of managing written heritage preservation and the use of methods. Based on the synthesis of knowledge from all individual parts of the research, a proposal for guidelines for the development of a methodological framework applicable to the area of written heritage preservation management is given.
