I don’t have access to the Domino server and it’s managed by a third party. So I thought I would ask this question here before I try and track down the right person who supports the servers.
I’m a developer so don’t know a lot about how Domino is configured as a web server.
Web services often keep logs of what pages people “hit.”
Is there a log on Domino?
If I wanted to find the number of hits to:
Can I get this historic information?

If you want to record the number of hits on a document then you can have a webqueryopen agent running, e.g.
Dim ns As New NotesSession, doc As NotesDocument
Set doc=ns.DocumentContext
Print "agent wqo:"+doc.UniversalID
If doc.HasItem("Ctr") Then n=doc.Ctr(0) Else n=0
doc.Ctr=n+1
Call doc.Save(True, True)
Which will simply record how many times your page has been visited (but not unique visits by IP address).
Obviously it’s not that useful for historical info…

Domino comes with a Web Log, but it is kind of “lacking.” Domlog.nsf is the file, created from an out-of-the-box template. And you will have to make a small change to your Server Document to have it start logging.
From Admin Help:
You can log your server activity and Web server requests to the Domino Web server log (DOMLOG.NSF) database. This option may be preferable if you want to create views and view data in different ways. Logging to a database is somewhat slower than logging to text files, especially at very busy sites, and the size of the database can become large so that maintenance becomes an issue. However, if you use the Domino Web server log, you can treat this information as you would other Notes databases, and you can use built-in features to analyze the results.
Look in Admin Help for “domlog.”

You can also use Domino Activity Logging and specify just HTTP requests. You can then use the Admin Client to examine the results.
However, if you just want hit counts per URL, it tends to give too much information. I am just at the moment working on an Activity analysis tool which will allow URLs to be configured for monitoring and provide hits / user / day for just those URLs.
