Advertising in The Tracker and Organ Atlas

Over the past several years, The Tracker and Organ Handbook/Atlas have earned well deserved praise as America’s most elegant and sophisticated pipe organ publications. The Tracker, the quarterly journal of the Organ Historical Society, covers a wide range of fascinating topics, from the general to the highly specialized, on pipe organ history, organ building, and organ preservation, as well as the proceedings and news of the society. The Organ Handbook/Atlas, published for each annual national convention of the Organ Historical Society, features information on the convention as well as an astonishing range of historical information on the organs, their settings, and the communities of the region in which the convention takes place. These annual publications become a permanent part of the libraries of our readers.

The Tracker and the Organ Atlas are read by influential individuals who shape the course of the art and science of the pipe organ. By advertising, at our highly competitive rates, you can keep your name before these leaders in the field. With each issue, we reach an estimated readership of 7,500 from approximately 4,000 issues circulated. Our publications are distributed to OHS members, businesses and organizations in the field, interested individuals everywhere, and public and private libraries in the US and abroad. In both The Tracker and the annual Organ Handbook/Atlas, your message is seen around the world and is preserved for decades.

The four issues of each volume of The Tracker appear in Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. The annual Organ Handbook/Atlas is published at the time of each convention (June or July).
