Help Establish the New AAG Archive
Dear Albany Academies Community,
We’re thrilled to share that Phase 1 of fundraising for the AAG Archives is 100% to goal! Thank you to all who have contributed—your support has brought us to the brink of an exciting new chapter. Construction of the AAG Archives will begin in the summer 2026!
In the meantime, we’ll soon begin fundraising for a series of mini projects designed to enhance and expand access to our archival collections—stay tuned for more details!
About the Funded Project |Creation of AAG Archives
The new AAG archives will honor the legacy of alumnae, educators, and those who have passionately championed the school’s history. We seek to pay tribute to three individuals whose dedication has left an indelible mark on our community:
Margaret Lamar King ‘65 and John McClintock ‘57 - Their tireless work has enriched our archival collections, ensuring the history of AA & AAG remains alive and accessible.
Robert Olcott II ‘44 – As “honorary archivist,” Robert revitalized the archives, demonstrating his lifelong commitment to preserving our stories.
Why Support the AAG Archives Project?
The AAG archive will celebrate the distinct “HER-story” of Albany Academy for Girls within a space dedicated to preserving our unique heritage. As Albany Academy evolves and unites as one school, this archive will ensure that the stories of AAG are shared and celebrated for generations to come.
What Will Your Donation Support?
A Dedicated, Climate-Controlled Archive Space: Contributions will help fund a new, purpose-built area where AAG materials can be organized, preserved, and displayed. Archival Conservation and Restoration Supplies: Donations will provide the supplies needed to conserve and restore items, ensuring that our collections are well-maintained for future generations.
Phase 2 Projects coming soon!
