Written out, in this computer age?  Nay, not so!   I have a scan of a blank
label.  I choose a font that looks close and type in the information then
print it out.

Now, to answer your original question...

1) Much discographic information concerning Edison Diamond Discs has been 
published;
however, I don't know how much has been "web-ized!"

2) Paper Edison labels regularly fall off of the records; in fact, IIRC, it 
is possible
to buy replacements, but they have to be written out...!
