Historically, there were two prevalent Foolscapfoolscap folio paper sizes: British Foolscapfoolscap and Imperialimperial Foolscapfoolscap. The British Foolscapfoolscap measured approximately 8.0 by 13.0 inches (203 mm by 330 mm) and was widely used in the United Kingdom for official documents and administrative records. On the other hand, the Imperialimperial Foolscapfoolscap was slightly larger, measuring around 8.5 by 13.5 inches (216 mm by 343 mm). This larger format was preferred in some regions of the British Empire for similar purposes. Both paper sizes represented an era when handwritten records and official documentation were prevalent, but they have since faded into history, replaced by contemporary paper standards.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Imperial Foolscap Paper Size |url=https://papersdb.com/imperial/foolscap |access-date= |website=papersdb.com |language=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=British Foolscap Paper Size |url=https://papersdb.com/traditional-british/foolscap |access-date= |website=papersdb.com |language=}}</ref>
