The Origami Forum

Hi everybody. I have to write an essay for my school about the origami. I need some information, history, curious facts, whatever. Any help is welcome.

ummm, that was pretty fast. buttttt, origami as cart game???

it's a joke, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origami

Just be careful about citing Wikepedia as a source. My understanding is that most teachers do not accept it as a valid source.

By all means, read the wiki and check out the links. Then go to the BOS homepage and read some of David Listers articles. He seems to be the recognized expert in matters of origami.

Yeah, citing Wikipedia is not really allowed. I know someone who failed his final paper because he cited Wikipedia among his sources.

And yeah, that Uncyclopedia article was just for fun.

We aren't allowed to use wikipedia as well. Most of the information is contributed by the public so it may be unreliable.

By now Wikipedia seemed to be my only sorce, but by the same reasons i i hadnt looked in it, and encarta says nothing about origami...

come on, it can't be so hard

just using google...

http://www.paperfolding.com/history/

http://www.papiroflexia.net/papiroflexia_historia.html

hope that it helps (try the links in the first one).

try http://www.britishorigami.info/academic/index.htm

Umm, i forgot to say that, it easier for me in spanish....

...sometimes the easiest way is not reachable - try translators (like google) - but dont copy it 1:1... or you get very much errors into your text
