You can try this function:
;; recursively find .org files in provided directory
;; modified from an Emacs Lisp Intro example
(defun find-org-file-recursively (directory &optional filext)
"Return .org and .org_archive files recursively from DIRECTORY.
If FILEXT is provided, return files with extension FILEXT instead."
(interactive "DDirectory name: ")
(let* (org-file-list
(case-fold-search t) ; filesystems are case sensitive
(fileregex (if filext (format "^[^.#].*\\.\\(%s$\\)" filext)
"^[^.#].*\\.\\(org$\\|org_archive$\\)"))
(cur-dir-list (directory-files directory t "^[^.#].*"))) ; exclude .*
;; loop over directory listing
(dolist (file-or-dir cur-dir-list org-file-list) ; returns org-file-list
(cond
((file-regular-p file-or-dir) ; regular files
(if (string-match fileregex file-or-dir) ; org files
(add-to-list 'org-file-list file-or-dir)))
((file-directory-p file-or-dir)
(dolist (org-file (find-org-file-recursively file-or-dir filext)
org-file-list) ; add files found to result
(add-to-list 'org-file-list org-file)))))))
I'm pretty sure there are a few bugs, so test well.
