so if something was published say 100 years ago, the person who took the photograph or made the drawing has been dead for more than 70 years, then it should be okay to publish that work? what about if that work is in historical or such like papers or books printed at the time the work was done?, ie if that work was done was for or printed in such said papers.

You <i>should</i> be ok. If you want one of us will go to University and study copyright law. Should have a definitive answer in about four years for you :-)
