Love for the organ and its music. That’s the only requirement for mem- bership in this society of friends of the organ. Whether you simply listen enthusiastically or you play, build, or study the organ as an avocation or profession, the Organ Historical Society invites you to join. The society promotes a widespread musical and historical interest in American organbuilding through collection, preservation, and publica- tion of historical information, and through recordings and public con- certs. As a member you will: Receive the society’s quarterly magazine, THE TRACKER. Receive the society’s annual convention publication. Receive special discounts from the OHS store (www.ohscatalog.org). Meet others who share your love for the organ and its music. Receive special invitations to attend the annual national conven- tions of the society, which are held in the summer in places where there are interesting and historic organs, built during the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. Learn of recordings and publications produced by the society and other sources, with special prices for members. Through your membership, help preserve and document the Amer- ican organbuilding heritage. From a modest beginning in 1956, the society has grown steadily in membership and is now a large group of music lovers, musicians, or- ganbuilders, historians, and scholars. This growth, which has spread to other countries, is evidence that a significant step forward in musical cul- ture and historical scholarship has been fostered since the society’s founding.
