You might be interested to have a look at the University of Tasmania's ePrints repository http://eprints.utas.edu.au/. If you browse by year you will find the oldest entry dated at 1150 CE http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/year/1150.html (uploaded in the last few years of course - computers were not exactly common then). Is this a record?
Under UNSPECIFIED you can find a picture of the designer of the fairest electoral system in the world (Andrew Inglis Clarke) http://eprints.utas.edu.au/11709/. There is much more, including the entire record of the Royal Society of Tasmania and the history of the Quakers in Tasmania. All historical as mentioned, but part of the open access world. Let's not lose sight of digitizing our heritage while we pursue open access for current research and data. Arthur Sale Tasmania, Australia
