Subject: Source for paper for use in research sought
Does anyone know where can I buy traditional handmade rag paper, with linen and cotton fibers and gelatin sizing, and also mechanical pulp paper with alum-rosin sizing? I would like to use them as model papers for testing a conservation treatment, so it is important that they mimic real antique rag paper and real 19th/20th century mechanical pulp paper, but without the impurities and contaminants the historic papers can have accumulated during their lifetime.
