Thank you Terry and other who have sent messages.
I completely forgot to put up the poster itself, silly me. It is about 18 inches by 3 ft.

Neschen Filmoplast is your friend for repairing tears. It’s non acidic, so won’t brown with time (as I understand it), hence it's good for rare books etc.
I use Filmoplast P90 for the backs or hinges, and P for anything with text or diagrams. Both are made of paper, but P is incredibly thin, so it goes almost transparent when stuck down. Book restorers use a tool called a whale bone (I’m guessing it’s not really made of whale any more) to smooth and scrape across the tape, and it makes a huge difference to how transparent it becomes. You may be able to do similar with a ruler or plastic butter knife, although if it’s something you really care about you may want to pick one up with the tape.

Filmoplast P90 on the hinge, P on a tear up the middle of the page.

Poster Restoration
Robin. Just seeing this thread now and not sure if you're still looking for someone to restore/stabilize the poster. If yes, there's a fellow in Port Perry, Ontario (Lake Scugog) who has become well know for his poster restorations. Perhaps give him a call. The link below will take you to his website.

Dear Terry, thank you for that lead.
It is on hold for the minute but in the pipeline as it were.
