Abstract

The study aims to identify the smart technologies used in electronic archiving, assess their current application at the Exhibition of the Architecture of the Prophet’s Mosque, and propose a model for archiving its collections using these technologies. A case study approach was employed to illustrate the use of smart technologies in electronic archiving, alongside a content analysis method to analyze local and global models, resulting in a checklist of 38 applicable technologies categorized by stages (digitization, preservation, publication). The findings indicated that the exhibition utilized smart technologies in electronic archiving at a rate of 18.4%, with notable technologies including holography, interactive screens, and wireless guides, while 81.6% of smart technologies remained unused. The application of these technologies in Saudi Arabia is notably increasing across various sectors. The study recommends prioritizing smart technologies, understanding their application, and organizing training workshops to teach necessary skills for their use in electronic archiving. It also emphasizes the importance of implementing the proposed model and collaborating with technology companies and experts to enhance execution quality.
