Obviously not all of these are notes for Diamond Disc sleeves since I've
never seen any notes after about...1921? It's been a real long time since I
went through these but my guess is the folder contents after 1921 are
typewritten carbon-copy release sheets for each disc, with catalog and
matrix numbers, titles, and artists, that were handed out to staff members
like Edison (himself), William Meadowcroft, Clarence B. Hayes, Walter H.
Miller, etc.

As for "hosting" scans of this material...American Discography Project? A
special website that's part of Edison's NPS site?

Web archivists anyone?

(And this inventory is going right into a file folder where I won't lose it
again!)
