BIOS Reporter – Volume 4, No.2 – April 1980

BIOS is grateful to Mr E.A.K. Ridley, of Barbican, London, for obtaining a microfilm (to be kept in the EOA at Keele) of the late Harry Shapley’s organ index, the original now being the property of the Horniman Museum in south London. Mr. Shapley, of Darwen, Lancashire, compiled a vast index of thousands of organs in Britain with their builders and dates, arranged by counties; he was not always able to keep it up to date, and it remains incomplete, but the microfilm will nonetheless be a valuable research asset. Thanks also to Douglas Carrington for drawing attention to the existence of this index…
