Hide Profile

Administrative History

The Albany Historical Society was founded in 1977 by Catherine Webb, a local historian who had been documenting the history of Albany for more than thirty years. In January 1994, to coincide with the opening of the new library building, she donated the entire collection of the Historical Society to the Albany Library, where it is displayed in a special alcove designed to house it. Since then, members of the community have donated additional materials to the library's collection.
