Another excellent resource:

ARSC journal article: "Selected Acetate Disc Cleaning Methods" 
(1997, Paton et al)

Check the bibliographies of the above Paton article as well as
the Pickett and Lemcoe article below for more resources for
research.

So cool!  Mike, would you be willing to scan and share (or even 
update and republish) your dissertation?

See http://www.arsc-audio.org/publications.html and order a copy of 

    Pickett, A.G., and M.M. Lemcoe. Preservation and Storage of Sound 
    Recordings (74 pp., paper.) 1991 reprint of this standard-setting 
    Library of Congress booklet originally published in 1959.

There have been advances since 1959, of course, and different 
chemistry is available today, but Pickett and Lemcoe are still an 
excellent starting point.
