If you're curious about what these papers are, here is a hack at exposing the metadata in an easily searchable format. It would not be hard to scrape the PDFs to searchable text using unix tools (doesn't come out very readable) and render them as SVG files with inkscape for easy browser viewing:

Lots of good old stuff, such as "On the Double Organs of Generation of the Lamprey, the Conger Eel, the Common Eel, the Barnacle, and Earth Worm, Which Impregnate Themselves; Though the Last from Copulating, Appear Mutually to Impregnate One Another"
This is all available elsewhere, i'm just trying to demonstrate how low the barrier to search is with OSS tools; I hope all these papers end up on archive.org with full text search!
