I'd like to know where to find copies of old math exams from 100+ years ago.

While I was browsing Facebook marketplace, I saw someone had posted some copies of high school math exams from 1908. (Some photos here: https://imgur.com/a/BRy6plI) I'm wondering if there's some place online where I can go to find more of these. The exams were from Ontario, but I'm interested in exams from other areas as well, either around the early 1900's or earlier. I'm specifically interested in the mathematics portion of these exams, not other subjects.

This YouTuber has done videos of several old exams, some from the late 1800s. Maybe ask them where they found them?

The NYS Regents Exam questions (including math) from 1866-1880 can be found on archive.org here. There are more records of old exams in the SUNY NY State Library but at a glance it looks like the earliest digitized stuff is from the late 1940s.
