British Institute of Organ Studies
- British Institute of Organ Studies
The British Institute of Organ Studies is more commonly known by its acronym BIOS.
The aims of BIOS are
*To promote objective, scholarly research into the history of the organ and its music in all its aspects, and, in particular, into the organ and its music in Britain.
*To conserve the sources and materials for the history of the organ in Britain, and to make them accessible to scholars.
*To work for the preservation, and where necessary, the faithful restoration of historic organs in Britain.
*To encourage an exchange of scholarship with similar bodies and individuals abroad, and to promote, in Britain, a greater appreciation of historical overseas schools of organ-building.
BIOS publishes a quarterly "Reporter" newsletter and magazine and a yearly "Journal" which contains articles on organ history.
BIOS is also responsible for the National Pipe Organ Register, which aims to catalogue all British pipe organs in a database. The database is available for searching free of charge on the internet.
