The site, in 2003

A searchable international database of open-access institutional repositories, run by EPrints at the University of Southampton.

It started in 2003 as the Institutional Archives Registry and took its current name in 2006. Over 3,000 repositories have registered, and it is counted among the two leading directories of its kind.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
