Archival quality paper goes beyond acid-free paper quality by incorporating additional features to ensure long-term preservation, but not all acid-free paper is of archival quality. Acid free archival paper can last more than 1,000 years(!!)… and is used in situations where art or documents require a longer life without becoming yellow or breaking down. It's also used commonly in the long term archival storage of art, documents and textiles. To meet that higher benchmark, a paper must not only be acid-free, it must also be manufactured using pure cotton fibers(a.k.a. cotton rag) or pure alpha cellulose fibers, which are naturally more durable than wood pulp.
