Abstract

The current research aims to explore the possibility of establishing a virtual museum specialized in preserving and showcasing the heritage of the "Ferkah" weaving craft. This includes introducing the craft, its history, and the stages of its development up to the present day, as well as the traditional fabrics associated with Ferkah. Another objective of the research was to provide educational and informative content about the history and technique of traditional weaving to enhance cultural and artisanal awareness. The importance of this research stems from the necessity to preserve cultural heritage, which faces the risk of extinction in the face of technological advancement and globalization. The research objective was confirmed by presenting a questionnaire to specialists in the field of clothing and textiles. The research reached the following conclusions: The frequencies and percentages for the acceptance level of specialists in the field of clothing and textiles for the design of a virtual museum as a digital platform for documenting the heritage of the Ferkah weaving craft were found to be favorable, with the arithmetic mean ranging between (2.33) and (2.73), and the relative weight ranging between (77.78%) and (91.11%).
