fa. Vierdag

fa. Vierdag is the name associated with a Dutch organ-building firm (orgelbouw) whose work is documented through the Vierdag Orgelarchief, a website maintained by Ieke Vierdag. The archive gathers photographs and information about organs built by the firm and its employees over the years, covering instruments in Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe, Overijssel, Flevoland, Gelderland, Utrecht, Noord-Holland, Zuid-Holland, Zeeland, Noord-Brabant, Limburg, and abroad. The project began after Ieke Vierdag's mother moved in 2001 and the family cleared the house, when parts of the father's archive were found in the attic, including folders of old letters and a shoebox of photographs of various organs built by the father together with his co-workers. The collection is described as seemingly random and far from complete; some photographs were taken by amateurs and others by professionals, and sometimes the disposition of the organ was noted while often it was not. Additional information was received over time from many different people, and efforts have been made to trace and cite sources. The website invites contact if a photograph has been posted with incorrect or incomplete information, and welcomes information about organs not yet on the site. The archive is copyrighted by Ieke Vierdag, with a 2025 notice. The firm's exact founding year, headquarters, and current legal status are not specified in the available evidence.
