paper scrolls
Rolled written sheets
Paper scrolls are sheets of paper rolled into cylindrical form, historically used for writing and record-keeping before bound books became standard.
Ancient civilizations stored documents, religious texts, and official records on scrolls.
The format persists in certain traditions—Torah scrolls remain central to Jewish religious practice.
The archive contained paper scrolls dating back centuries.
