2008-12-22 - Identified through information published in John Ferguson's <i>Walter Holtkamp: American Organ Builder</i> (DMA treatise, Eastman School of Music, 1976). Although neither Votteler-Holtkamp-Sparling nor their successor Holtkamp Organ Co. assigned Opus numbers to their instruments, this organ was identified in factory documents as Job number 1689. That number appears here as the Opus number of this instrument. -Database Manager
2023-10-27 - The Episcopal Divinity School, loosely affiliated with Harvard, closed in 2016 and the students transfered to Union Theological in NYC. As of 2023 the campus is unused and the status of the organ is a matter of concern. -Scot Huntington
