The Epic of Gilgamesh was preserved by storytellers. They orally told stories, each their own way. The Epic as we have it now is not in it original form due to changes in the way the teller said it. It was written down and preserved in the first known library.

The Epic of Gilgamesh was preserved on clay tablets written in cuneiform script. These tablets were discovered in the ruins of the library of Assyrian King Ashurbanipal in the 19th century. The discovery of multiple copies of the epic allowed scholars to piece together and translate the complete story.
