the toccata and fugue are names of the specific forms.
for "baroque organ" music, you can look at a variety of places---one that i know of off the top of my head is derek bailey's book "improvisation" which talks about some of the manuals for improvisation from the 17-18th centuries and about contemporary schools of organ playing that still emphasize improvisation. messaen was among the more recent practitioners of the latter school--an important teacher, lots of students/influence---you can get names from the bailey book.
the book is published by dacapo. it is still in print--you might be able to find it at a decent-sized library.
there are other ways to go at this question, to find out about 17-18th century organ music, but this is the one i can think of right now.
