Abstract
Currently one of the most important challenges for curators and providers of digital cultural heritage is to increase and enhance the engagement of users and communities with digital humanities collections. The reflections and efforts made to open up the IPSA database to new user categories is an ongoing process able to offer useful suggestions and contributions to this field of investigation. The considerations taken into account to elaborate the IPSA database trials engaging non-domain users are presented and the design of the trials is described.
