The preservation of newspapers is the main topic of this paper. A theoretical overview of newspaper preservation is given, with an emphasis on the importance of a systematic and comprehensive approach. Efficient newspaper preservation implies understanding the meaning of preservation in general, as well as understanding specific approaches, methods and techniques that are included in newspaper preservation concepts. A project-oriented organization of newspaper preservation is explained by showing some examples of good practice in the field. The paper also aims to show approaches to preservation of Croatian newspapers, to outline major developments and to put Croatian initiatives into the general context of managing newspaper preservation.
