Discovering the Organ Library and Archives of the Boston AGO Chapter

The Organ Library of the Boston AGO Chapter is one of the largest collections of organ music in the world. Its web catalog, at www.organlibrary.org, is a searchable database that gives access to information about the more than 50,000 musical works in the collection. The Web Catalog lists the complete contents of anthologies and single-composer collections. The Library’s holdings include archives that document the careers of notable performers, among them T. Tertius Noble and E. Power Biggs. This workshop explores the practical value of the Web Catalog’s search feature and gives a virtual tour of the Library’s extensive archival holdings.
