Resources and Publications
As part of AIO’s commitment to the preservation of the organbuilding craft, we offer a host of technical resources, web links, publications and videos for reference by the professional and hobbyist alike. Some of these are free and some, due to the cost of archiving, are only available through subscription or membership. We invite you to use all of our resources and share this site with others.
AIO Journal
This Institute publishes a quarterly journal featuring technical articles, product and book reviews, and a forum for the exchange of building and service information and techniques.
Subscriptions are provided free to AIO members and are available to non-members by contacting the Executive Secretary.
