American Museum
of Papermaking
http://www.ipst.edu/amp/
The site offers a brief overview
of the history of paper, beginning with its precursors from 4000
BC, and showcases a changing (three-monthly) example of papermaking
as an art form. The main sources of interest, however, are its 25
links to related sites and, for serious papermakers, the more technical
site of which it is a part.
