Historic Organ Citations

Since 1975, the OHS has recognized organs of historical significance through its program of awarding Citations to the institutions that house the instruments. Further information can be found on the Society's web site, which can be accessed through the link at the bottom of this page.

The table below lists awards presented through July 2009. The order in which the elements are listed can be altered by clicking the column headings. Click on a state abbreviation or the name of a city to restrict the list to organs there, or click on a builder's name to see only organs by that individual or firm that have been awarded Citations. Clicking on the name of an institution will open detailed information about that organ in another window or tab.
