Where would one get access to those?

It’s worth noting that the Precious Edition is a fan edit rather than an attempt at preservation. (Though I believe the changes are kept to a minimum.) You can learn more about it here:

He does tweaking here and there, which a lot of times isn’t even noticeable, unless you’re very used to the originals. For first-time-watchers, it’s a seamless edit. The cuts make so much sense for the movies. It’s the only way I’ll watch them now. Hopefully we can get a worthy 4k release someday, which is actually better than the Blu-rays.
