Thesis Title: Paper Rationing in Great Britain During the Second World War: The Restrictions and Their Impacts on Individuals and Businesses
Abstract: Unlike food and clothing rationing, little has been written about the rationing of paper during the war. This thesis shares the story of paper during the war. How Nazi aggression restricted access to the materials needed to make paper. What actions the government took to conserve the use of paper. Why the availability of paper was so essential to military success. And how the limited access to paper affected the everyday lives of Britons.
