Unwrapping history
Paper made from mummy wrappings in Maine."I've been able to document Maine was a real hotbed," for paper-making with mummy wrappings, said Wolfe, who will be joined by her husband and technical adviser, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Professor David Rawson, in her presentation tonight in Gardiner.
