If anyone is interested in pollen from historics let me know. I imagine few historics collectors collect pollen as a routine matter. Best if you can give us some info on what you are interested in: certain cultivars, hybridizers, patterns, etc. 
E.g. I have some older rebloomers for example.
(BTW - Always up for trading rhizomes of hard to find ones.)

Dear Iris Hortnet friends: I 
  do like this forum even though it is not used much. I have
  initiated a new program called the Pollen Exchange. For more
  info check out Pollen exchange in the general index of the
  Iris Encyclopedia or click onB B B http://wiki.irises.org/bin/view/Main/InfoPollenExchange
  .
My bloom season has 
  barely begun for my MDBs, so I have collected pollen from
  only a couple of Iris so far, but this exchange I hope will
  create a number of opportunities for people to try crosses
  that would be difficult without saving their own pollen in
  some cases for more than a year.
Since the SDBs were created by Paul Cook and 
  Geddes Douglas exchanging pollen through the mail I can
  point to that notable success. I believe results maybe iffy
  but the amount invested is very low compared to buying and
  growing many plants. The exchange will be advertised in the
  upcoming AIS e-news letter, News & Notes, and The Dwarf
  Iris society's new upcoming E-Newsletter 'Small
  Talk'. The Dwarf Society's Small Talk will be free
  to anyone who sends me or Lyn Wilson their e-mail address. I
  hope anyone interested in Dwarf Irises will subscribe.
