Fred,
Are you talking posters in good condition, or posters that need repairs (losses, creases, torn)? If it is the latter it is best given to a specialist. I know that there are several on the east coast. I don't know about the west coast.

The basic process is to stretch fabric on a frame. Using a wet paste the archival paper is attached to the fabric and let dry. The third step is to attach the poster to the paper with more wet paste. After it is dry the poster and a paper border is cut out.
