I know that professional conservators (for museums) will purposefully not match the original *completely* so that future generations of researchers can easily tell what it not original. It's an ethics thing.
I will ask my Museum Environment professor from last term (who is a professional art conservator) if she can suggest any good texts, but she is a busy lady, so no promises!
