The oldest fragment from the New Testament documents (apart from this fragment) is Rylands Library Papyrus P52 [0], a fragment from John's gospel, John 18:31–33 (front) and John 18:37-38 (back), circa AD 125, which is on display at John Rylands Library in Manchester, England.
The John fragment is one of several fragments in libraries and museums around the world, and there is an interesting list [1] of these if you are interested in textual criticism ("Are the documents we read today the same as what were originally written?") and planning a "history holiday" in any of those places any time soon.
See also, FF Bruce's "The New Testament Documents: Are They reliable?" [2] for a scholarly discussion of the historicity of the New Testament. FF Bruce was incidentally a member of the council of governors for John Rylands Library.
