British Pathe Bioscope Films of Mechanical Music
By Bjorn Isebaert

Dear MMD'ers,  British Pathe has put online an enormous amount of film
material they used in their bioscope shorts until 1970.  On the site
http://www.britishpathe.com/ you can download free footage of a lot
of subjects.  When you search on "organ", you can find footage about,
e.g., the Great Gavioli, St. Albans Organ Museum, theatre organs,
barrel organs in the Netherlands, ...

Beware: only the low quality preview is free (and it has a copyright
mark on it throughout the film), but it's still worth a look I think.

Best wishes,

Bjorn Isebaert
