Cotton paper is known for its durability and longevity, often lasting several hundred years without significant deterioration, especially if it is stored properly in a stable, climate-controlled environment. Its high cellulose content and lack of lignin, which can cause paper to yellow and become brittle, contribute to its long-lasting nature. Archival quality cotton paper, used for important documents, can last even longer, sometimes over a thousand years.
