In Malaysia, the effort of conserving heritage buildings commenced approximately 30 to 40 years ago which is still at it infant stage. The implementation of National Heritage Act beginning from 2006 faces many challenges in confronting the wave of rapid urbanization. A review of necessary literature was carried out critically highlighting some fundamental principles in conservation of historic building which inform conceptualizing a framework for the digitalizing tangible heritage in Malaysia. The conceptual framework shows the complexity involves in managing tangible heritage digitization process. The process required interdisciplinary collaborative process from many expertise and professionals. The results form the basis for a proposed automated tool to assist in the development of strategies for conservation and increasing tourism potentials in Malaysia.
