What is parchment made of?

Question

-Also what is the process of making parchment?

Answer 1

Real parchment is made from animal skin (usually goat). It is made in a process similar to leather. Parchment paper is specially treated ordinary paper.

Answer 2

Parchment is a material for the pages of a book, codex or manuscript made from calf skin, sheep skin or goat skin. It is distinct from leather in that parchment is not tanned, but stretched, scraped, and dried under tension, creating a stiff white, yellowish or translucent animal skin. It is very reactive with changes in relative humidity, sometimes causing books to leap from library shelves from the changes in tension, and is not waterproof. Cooking parchment paper (see below) is used in baking.
