The Peabody’s annual report for fiscal year 2026 is LIVE!

This year marks an extraordinary milestone in our history as we proudly celebrate our 125th anniversary. For more than a century, the Robert S. Peabody Institute of Archaeology has inspired student interest, fostered appreciation for Native American cultures, and supported archaeological research. This landmark anniversary offers us the opportunity to look back with gratitude on our history, while looking forward to a vibrant future.

Fiscal Year 2026 has been a historic chapter of transformation, most notably distinguished by the successful completion of the Peabody building project and renovations. This major undertaking has revitalized our physical spaces, blending our historic architectural legacy with modern, accessible, and innovative facilities designed to serve student generations to come. From enhanced programming spaces to upgraded infrastructure, these improvements ensure that our physical home matches the excellence of the services and experiences we deliver every day.

None of these achievements would have been possible without the dedication of our staff, generosity of our donors, and the steadfast support of volunteers and community partners. You can read our full report HERE!
