Source for paper for use in research sought

Does anyone know where can I buy traditional handmade rag paper,
with linen and cotton fibers and gelatin sizing, and also mechanical
pulp paper with alum-rosin sizing?

I would like to use them as model papers for testing a conservation
treatment, so it is important that they mimic real antique rag paper
and real 19th/20th century mechanical pulp paper, but without the
impurities and contaminants the historic papers can have accumulated
during their lifetime.
