This course is designed for librarians, archivists, antiquars, bookbinders, conservators, anyone else, who is interested in the topic.

The knowledge about various Asian papers is gained via understanding of the raw material, the procedure of paper making in Asia and due to own fibre-preparation and paper-making in Asian style. The resulting self made samples form a valuable collection for comparing with paper to be identified. With simple methods, available to everyone for example Chinese, Japanese and Thai papers can be distinguished.
Films and a collection of samples support the oral lectures.
