This would probably be the best bet. In the meantime I used a paper towel
to rub the board where the grime was and it did a decent job, but there is
still a layer of film.

I removed all the ICs from their sockets.

A very precious board, so anything not extraordinarily
safe is right out.
If this board is so valuable - don't ask us. Go to the experts, like a
museum or college that has a curatorial program. The number one rule
about museum restoration is *never* to try something that you are not
*very* skilled at.
I have found that the professionals can generally get anything off of
anything without leaving anything. Quite amazing.

Kinky! Or do you just wear them
when cleaning boards?
Cheap electric toothbrushes (and there are now some that are VERY
cheap) can work well for scrubbing.
