To some, fine paper is the space that translates what is conceived in the mind to what is authentic. To others, having access to the right paper represents abundant possibility and profitability. The very selection of paper now becomes an adventure, realizing how the end result will vary based upon choice. Today, as in the years past, Legion Paper continues to source the finest papermakers around the globe, respecting the skill of the artisan and the unique attributes of the finished product.

  • Handmade Paper: a Review of Its History, Craft, and Science
    REVIEW ARTICLE bioresources.com HANDMADE PAPER: A REVIEW OF ITS HISTORY, CRAFT, AND SCIENCE Martin A. Hubbe a* and Cindy Bowden b For over 2000 years the manual craft of papermaking has been practiced all over the world utilizing a variety of techniques. This review describes the evolution of hand papermaking and its cultural significance. Paper’s evolution has been shaped by the structure and chemical composition of the fibers. Almost every aspect of modern papermaking technology has been foreshadowed by traditional practices. Such practices were passed down for many generations within families of papermakers. The main sources of cellulosic fiber evolved as the ancient craft migrated from its birthplace in China to Korea and Japan, the Islamic world, and then to Europe and America. Though most paper made today comes from automated, continuous production systems, handmade paper has enjoyed a resurgence, both as a traditional craft and as an art-form. In addition, traditional papermaking methods can provide insights to help in modern applications involving cellulosic fibers. Keywords: Handmade paper; History; Handcraft; Science; Cellulosic fibers Contact information: a: Department of Forest Biomaterials; North Carolina State University; Campus Box 8005; Raleigh, NC 27695-8005 USA; b: Robert C. Williams American Museum of Papermaking, Inst. of Paper Science and Technology, Mail Code 0620, Georgia Tech., Atlanta, GA 30332-0620; *Corresponding author: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Whenever people engage their hands and minds to make paper, there is a continuing opportunity for evolution of the craft. Each maker adopts or selectively omits parts of the methods that have been passed down to them, sometimes inventing new techniques.

    LAMINATION METHODS - PAPER MATERIALS P.Renganathan &R.Piramuthu Raja Ashok ABSTRACT: The concept and use of conservation, is an age old tradition. The sole idea behind conservation is to ensure stabilization and protection of records against dangers and also correction of damaged wealth. The priority of placing materials in conservation is based on their rate of deterioration. The more rapidly decaying materials are given first importance than others. One such material is archival paper, as far as conservation of paper objects are concerned, the lamination process is the most widely used method. This paper focuses mainly on the different materials and methods used for the lamination of archival paper, their characteristics and their compatibility for archival paper conservation. Since there is no standard available in Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS) for the materials used in document conservation. Archival holders, not knowing material’s properties, chemistry, & disadvantages, simply adapt any one available method in vicinity with an intention to safe guard their archival holdings. But they are not achieving their goal. This paper will guide& help them to choose the correct material. 2 LAMINATION METHODS - PAPER MATERIALS P.Renganathan &R.Piramuthu Raja Ashok Introduction: The concept and use of conservation, is an age old tradition.
