British Institute of Organ Studies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
