Abstract: The aim of this article is to examine to processes by which productive knowledge is conserved. Two aspects are outlined: The cognitive aspect describes the continuum from tacit to articuled knowledge. The existence of forms of knowledge (as know-how) which cannot be communicated via language raises important questions. Such knowledge is stored and transfered by specific processes of socialization and inter-individual training. The dimension of "supports" and the contexts of knowledge constitute the second, institutional aspect of knowledge conservation. Knowledge is always linked to specific supports ans embedded in particular institutional relationships (private property, power struggles and wage-relations,...) The institutional aspect is thus often more important than the cognitive one. The problem of the conservation of productive knowledge through time is analyzed and the different processes of transfer between different kinds of support explained.
