This paper focuses on the use of digital technologies to support the surveying and archival analysis of architectural heritage in Brunei Darussalam. Through the methods of digital humanities, this current research endeavour is focused on documentation (geometric, architectural, and historical) through 2D and 3D drawings, creating digital and interactive maps for geo-spatial, contextual, and phenomenological navigation to locate architectural heritage. This research demonstrates the potential of digital technologies in the study and safeguarding of architectural heritage and the instrumentalization of this data to create an interactive and open access platform designed for education, conservation, cultural management, safeguarding awareness, social responsibility, and tourism development. Index Terms—Digital humanities, architectural heritage, interactive education, smart tourism destination 1.
