The master's thesis presents a brief historical overview of the manufacturing of paper and an analysis of the process of making paper by various masters who have and still are making paper in Slovenia. The work and technology of crafts of four manufacturers are presented: Janez Kvaternik - Kamniški, Janez Rozman, Marko Drpić and the master workshop PAPLAB. Technologies of modern manufacturing of paper and comparative analysis of the process, tools and raw materials of modern manufacturers are presented. The notion of traditionality and authenticity as well as the traditionality and authenticity of paper production itself are explored, whether manufacturers consider their work as heritage, how they understand and value crafts and their work from the point of view of tradition and authenticity, what criteria they use to prove it and what the entry of craft into The Register of Intangible Cultural Heritage means for craft itself, its holders and other producers. The Center for Conservation and Restoration of Archival Material in the Archive of the Republic of Slovenia is presented in order to present the technology and procedures used in the restoration and conservation of manufactured paper and the status of the institution that stores manufactured paper in Slovenia.
