ROAR (Registry of Open Access Repositories) keeps track on the growth of
nearly 1000 repositories:

http://roar.eprints.org/

You can filter the results to find what you are looking for:

http://roar.eprints.org/?action=home&q=&country=&version=dspace&type=&or
der=recordcount&submit=Filter

(DSpace repositories, ordered by size).

If you want to see their distribution on a map, take a look at:

I hope this helps,


Stuart
