The About area of the
Albany Institute of History & Art
includes some historical information about the
Society for the Promotion of Agriculture, Arts and Manufactures,
indicating that the latter
was founded in 1791 as a learned society; in 1797 the Society moved to
Albany; in 1804, it changed its name to the
Society for the Promotion of Useful Arts (SPUA), continuing to
emphasize agricultural achievements;
in 1819, State Board of Agriculture was established, obviating the role of
the SPUA, which then turned its attention to mineralogy, astronomy and
geography;
According to the
About area of the
Albany Institute of History & Art,
in 1824, the SPUA ceased its activities as a learned society
when it merged with the Albany Lyceum of Natural History (a museum
founded in 1823) to become the Albany Institute, a museum that
exists to the present day.
