a bit on...watermarks!
digitally revealed online:
Piccard watermark collection
(Wasserzeichen of Gerhard Piccard)
Along with Charles-Moïse Briquet's album Les Filigranes and others.
Watermark Database of the Dutch University Institute for Art History (NIKI)
WZMA (Wasserzeichen des Mittelalters)
The Thomas L. Gravell Watermark Archive
Watermarks in Incunabula Printed in the Low Countries (WILC)
Les filigranes des papiers contenus dans les incunables strasbourgeois de la Bibliothèque impériale de Strasbourg.
Par Paul Heitz. Strasbourg : J. H. E. Heitz, 1903. "Un dernier fascicule donnera les filigranes contenant l’écu de Bâle."
also available via Hathi Trust Digital Library and Google books
And of course additional (and requisite) paper history excitement:
Bernstein: The memory of paper (a wealth of information here).
and the International Association of Paper Historians, welcoming you to "fibre space"... ;)
