Dear ARSC-Listers,

Please help the researchers for this important project on the earliest
disc
records:

British collectors George Taylor and Paul Cleary are collecting details
of
Emile Berliner's earliest published discs, the 5-inch/12.5 cm
Waltershausen
products manufactured between approximately 1890 and 1893, with a view
to
compiling a discography.

They would be interested to know of any copies in private or
institutional
collections. The anonymity of private collectors will be maintained.
Please
send details - catalogue number, title, matrix number (if any) - to
George
(violageorge@xxxxxxxxxxx) or Paul (paul.cleary@xxxxx). Alternatively
Paul
can be reached at:

Paul Cleary
WEL Cataloguing

We would also be extremely interested to know if any of the 8 cm
'doll'
records exist apart from the one in the museum in Waltershausen.

Thanks, Richard
