Talk:Cotton paper

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Additional information needing to be checked

• believed to be Chinese invention - This contradicted by other reports being invented in Egypt. Need to figure out history.
• references in books indicating first seen in 1050 but this is only one reference.

I just like to add there is much research to be done on the history of this material, who invented, how it traveled. When I started this article my knowledge of the subject was more to do with banknote printing. I didn't realize the rich history that this material has had on our world today. There are many historical books that talk about the cotton paper and there are many contradictions.

The countries that produce cotton paper are the ones that I came across during my research of the topic. Although I haven't been able to find any definitive source of data.

Here is an interestin goverment report. [1] It contains information that may be distilled as to the current state of this industry. --Joewski 01:38, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
