Abstract: Abstract Knowledge Preservation (KP) is a crucial activity because provides individuals and organizations the basis for creating new knowledge and technical skills. Although some scholars have investigated KP within Community of Practice (CoP), less emphasis has been given to the process of KP as well as to the different ways. Thus, this study was aimed to investigate the KP within CoP. Based on case study method, it provides evidence on different ways and techniques by which tacit and explicit knowledge is preserved within two CoP.
