Vellum

Historically, vellum wasn’t paper at all, but a kind of parchment made from treated animal hide. This kind of vellum is hard to find today, although bookbinders still use it sometimes for high-end productions. Because it was expensive and difficult to make, this animal-based vellum was, in its time, the most valued kind of writing surface available. It was durable and so smooth that lengthy compositions could be written or drawn out with no risk ink spots or tears.

Vellum today (paper vellum) is not made out of animal hides. It is generally made of cotton, wood pulp, synthetic materials or some combination of those items.
