Dear Marijim
There are very considerable holdings of manuscripts in Oxford and
Cambridge, in the University libraries, museums and colleges. There
is a very large card index to images in manuscripts in the Bodleian, which is
held in the Clarendon Building and can be consulted by appointment
(or at least, that is the way it worked when I last had dealings with
it). The manuscript material held in the Conway (in the same
building as the Witt) is arranged by country and century, it might
also be worth looking in thematic picture library at the Warburg,
even the thematic index in the Victoria and Albert Museum Prints and
Drawings room (this contains a lot of material gathered to inspire
design students in the nineteenth-century - I would expect that
images of organs from manuscripts might be included. Although it
old, there might be some references to images in: Cox, Pulpits, lecterns, and organs in English churches.
London : Oxford University Press, 1915, but you probably know this
book already.
With Best Wishes
Miriam
