At least Waikato Uni maintains a research commons that holds papers and theses published by its academics and graduate students, but it is limited to holding only that which is permitted by copyright law, which is often only the preprint, and then, that depends on the academic uploading that version to the commons.
These are the papers that were funded out of the research grant, peer-reviewed by other researchers on their own time, and yet get copyrighted by the publishers?
More or less, yes. Except the peer reviewing is usually not on researchers own time if they are employed by a research organisation. UoA has a "service" category in their academic job descriptions that covers this. I assume other Uni's have similar.
