Het Orgel is a Dutch magazine for organ building and organ music. It is published by the Royal Dutch Organists Association .
Het Orgel is the oldest organological journal in Europe. The first edition appeared in 1886/1887 under the title Het orgel: maandblad voor organisten . By 1900/1901, 15 volumes of the monthly magazine followed, with the last volume even two issues per month. In a new series, the booklets were published from 1903 by the Nederlandsche Organisten-vereniging (NOV). The organ appeared from 1919 to 1939 and from 1946 to 1951 under the name Maandblad het orgel , from 1939 to 1946 and after 1952 again under the title Het Orgel . The subtitles also changed several times. In 1991 the editor was renamed Koninklijke Nederlandse Organisten Vereniging . In 1997 the magazine appeared ten times. From January 1997 to May 2008, the booklets were supplemented by the dependent supplement De orgelkrant , which has since appeared under the name Notabene . Since 1998 it has been published every two months. The publishing association merged in 2009 with the Gereformeerde organisten Vereniging (GOV) and was subsequently renamed Koninklijke Vereniging van Organisten en Kerkmusici (KVOK).
