If you want truly archival conservation work you can try the Williamstown Art Conservation Center.

I work at a museum and have had lots of work done by them.

PM is great, but also very expensive. Every time I have looked to get something restored, their price is always around the value of the print. I use Lumier Restoration (http://www.lumiereposter-restoration.com), they are much more affordable, their work is great, and Mario is always very helpful and quick to respond.

If anyone has additional input it would be appreciated. here's the process as they laid out..
"Our gel process is the preferred method to preserve certain type of paper such as silk prints, W.C.'s, L.C.' Inserts, 1/2 sheets. We apply a coat of clear gel to the print, mount it on a rigid board, let it cure for about a week.
We will then proceed to work on the flaws, such as creases, scuffing and other issue it may have. Once all of the above is done, we removed the print from the board, dust off the gel (at this point is completely dry and becomes powder) and you are left with a very nice flat looking print with no backing at all."
