- The paper presents a study of a range of characteristics of a museum's web-site visitors. It is particularly significant for highlighting that non-specialist users make up the majority of users, even though they have previously been generally sidelined. Our work is cited when authors need to demonstrate the range of users accessing digital archives and museums and the barriers that these users currently face (Kiourexidou et al. 2019; Villaespesa 2019; Teixeira et al. 2020). A preliminary and less detailed version was accepted to a leading Digital Libraries conference (TPDL 2017, 26% acceptance rate), where it won a best-paper honourable mention.
