Research Reports

In the course of the Orgelpark Research Program, the Orgelpark organizes symposia and colloquia. Many of them are organized in collaboration with the Chair Organ Studies at VU University Amsterdam. The Chair was re-established by the Orgelpark in 2010. Papers presented during these events are published in the Orgelpark Research Reports. The Reports are available for free.

Electronic books

The Orgelpark Research Reports are electronic books because texts on music should include audio and video examples. Orgelpark Research Report #4 ("Medieval Organ Art), for example, includes over one hour of music.
