Born in the town of Medfield, Massachusetts, Albert Wiggin was the son of a Unitarian minister, James Henry Wiggin, and Laura Newton. Wiggin graduated from Boston's English High School in 1885 and went on to work for J.B Moors & Company as a runner. Eight months later, he worked as a bookkeeper for another Boston Bank run by his uncle called the National Bank of the Commonwealth. At the age of twenty-three he worked his way up towards an assistant for a national Bank examiner in Boston.〔Benjamin J. Klebaner.

In 1941 he donated his collection of several thousand pieces to the Boston Public Library. Other works from his assemblage can be found at the New York Public Library and the Baltimore Museum of Art. He was made a lifetime member of the board of MIT's ''Charles Hayden Memorial Library.''
For Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont, he endowed the ''Albert Henry Wiggin Memorial Scholarship Fund'' plus he and his wife formed the ''Albert H. and Jessie D. Wiggin Foundation'' which gave grants to institutions such as the United Hospital Fund and the Department of Medicine at Columbia University.
