Abstract: A key challenge facing curators and providers of digital cultural heritage across Europe and Worldwide is to instigate, increase and enhance engagement with cultural archives.To achieve this, a fundamental change in the way cultural resources are experienced and contributed to by communities is required.Furthermore, it is of central importance to create systems which can support the full spectrum of the user community -from professional researchers engaged in answering complex queries, to supporting novice students or members of the public in finding their way through the vast collection of resources.This paper presents CULTURA, a personalisation environment for navigating digitised cultural heritage archives.An initial description of a case study surrounding the 1641 Depositions Archive is followed by an analysis of the results of trials with students in the humanities.
