At the same time he was in charge of the Zofingen city library from 1867 until the end of his life.

Schumann was the author of 133 articles for the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie and collaborator on Karl Goedekes Grundriß for the history of German poetry . A first delivery of a work he had planned on the Aargau writers appeared in 1888. In 1863/64 he was editor and publisher of the weekly Aus dem Wiggerthale , a supplement to the Zofinger Volksblatt , of which 20 issues appeared.

From 1882 Albert Schumann taught for ten years as a professor of history and geography at the Aarau Cantonal School in Aarau.
