History of Paper

The earliest sheets of paper are thought to have been made of silk around 200 B.C. in China. It was officially documented by Ts'ai Lun in 105 A.D. with paper he produced from beaten hemp rags, fishing nets, and tree bark.

Almost 1,000 years would pass before papermaking reached Europeans. A wonderfully completed history can be found in Dard Hunter's book: Papermaking - The History & Technique of an Ancient Craft.
