This page is a repository of data generated by Team Two of the MarineLives Digital Pop Up Lab, which is exploring how historians approach historical search when they are looking for people, places and dates.

We monitor useage of the MarineLives wiki using Google Analytics. Data from the Google Analytics package enables us to analyse the specific pages viewed by users within the wiki, but not the identity of the users. Data are also captured by Google Analytics regarding searches conducted by users when viewing the MarineLives wiki, using the wiki's own search box.

In the period June 3rd 2016 to July 3rd 2016, there were two hundred and seventy five searches performed by MarineLives wiki users.

We have analysed this data for (1) the number of search terms used in single searches (2) the types of content searched for in single searches

Our conclusion is that "simple searches" using one or two search terms in a single search dominate, and that the dominant content searched for are persons. We are interested in comparing these results with the results from other history oriented content based websites.
