- Source: "Paper, used for handwritten or printed texts until the beginning of the 19th century, was made from rags of fabric usually made from cotton, linen or hemp. ... Rag paste was the first material used to make paper, in which fabric remains were subjected to maceration and fermentation." (pp 6-7) ——— Gonçalves, Marina Furtado (Sep 2023), "The paper in the captaincy of Minas Gerais Identification of provenance from the material study of the separate documentation of the Casa dos Contos collection of the Arquivo Público Mineiro (1750-1800)", Acervo, vol. 38, no. 3, Rio de Janeiro: National Archives of Brazil, pp. 1–31
