ENPaper presents methodological problems of egodocumental research and guidelines for the project Lithuanian Egodocumental Heritage (acronym LEGODOK), conducted within the national program "The State and the People: Heritage and Identity" (2010-2013), funded by the Lithuanian Council of Science. "Lithuanian egodocument" is seen in the project as an object of traditional egodocumental heritage (memoirs, diaries, autobiographies, letters) created and/or kept in Lithuania, or associated with Lithuania by its content or its author’s identity. One of the aims of the project is to make a survey research (an inventory) of documents in various languages, kept in Lithuanian and Polish memory institutions and to compile lists of egodocuments; to fill in the data base according to a prepared procedure and form and to set up a retrospective bibliography (3,000 entries), and, establishing and expanding a reference infrastructure, to conduct fundamental and applied research. The basis for it is the widely accepted concept of the egodocument as writing in the first person for oneself and for closely related people (J. Presser, R. Dekker, W. Schulze), adapted to the general theory of document and archive science in which the paradigm of cultural and historical anthropology has recently been gaining prominence.
