Ray,
The following link is for the PhotoConservation list on Yahoo. It is
run by Luis Nadeau, the author of many books relating to process
history. Many conservation professionals belong to the list and the
expertise among the members is extensive.

I have a large study-collection of silver mirroring examples and print
deterioration samples. What is your question? Feel free to respond
off-list if your questions are not germaneproprietary to this list.
Posing your questions on the PhotoConservation list should elicit the
help you need.
I have personally been experimenting with silver-mirroring-removal for
many years, and have developed a proprietary technique for removing
the silver mirroring without affecting the original surface sheen/
reflectance of the paper.

There may be someone on this list... I am not sure, (perhaps Roger
K? is with us?)
Anyway, I have a few questions I would like to direct to people who
have seen a lot of examples of
print deterioation such as silver mirroring.
(Of course GEH and IPI come imeadiately to mind, but that should be
later I think.)
Alternativly,
Anyone here have any photographs damaged by silver mirroring?
If so, you may respond off list, if you prefer.
(If there is not a suitable list for conservation questions,
perhaps I will post them here....)
