Apparently they're not going to be using calf skin vellum anymore in Parliament.

I have several deeds from the 1790's and a land grant from the Penns from 1766 all on parchment. They look amazing for their age.

My business cards are brown vinyl letters on natural 65lb parchment.
A trip thru the washing machine does not damage them.
