Very interesting video of how parchment used to be made out of animal skins for books!

Unfortunately, the link doesn't work anymore. Do you happen to know the name of the documentary? Maybe I can find it elsewhere.

It works for me. 

It is posted by NOVA | PBS.  "Watch the last remaining master animal-skin parchment maker in the world demonstrate how paper was made in medieval Europe".

I'm disappointed in NOVA | PBS - they didn't have it anywhere near correct as the "last parchment maker" - as the other videos show there are many folks still active.  AND FB isn't the best place to host the video.

I'm still glad the OP started the thread - I've learned some stuff today.
