The St. Johnsbury Archives Collaborative is a partnership between five local institutions - the St. Johnsbury Academy, the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum, the Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium, the Town of St. Johnsbury, and the St. Johnsbury Historical Society. The Collaborative was formed in 1999 to exchange information about the partners, holdings of historic records and to develop a strategy for preserving St. Johnsbury's heritage.

The St. Johnsbury Athenaeum's archive houses materials that document the history of St. Johnsbury and, to a lesser extent, the surrounding area. Collection strengths include records of local clubs and individuals, photographs, general research materials, and institutional records.
