Tom,
these Edison recordings were put up on the web over 5 years ago as part of the Library's American Memory site "Inventing Entertainment"
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/edhtml/edhome.html
Here is a link for the page describing the transfer process the Recording Lab used:

Hello ARSC/LOC folks:
I found this area of the LOC website with a bunch of Edison Diamond Disc audio:
http://memory.loc.gov/mbrs/edrs/
Are there other directories with more DD transfers? Have more DD's been transferred but are not
available online? If so, will they be available online, and when?
Finally, were all of the WAV files in the above directory created the same way? Can someone with
first-hand or similar knowledge describe the transfer process?
All answers much appreciated!
