Olive Baboons arent too rare among larger non-AZA facilities. Unfortunately they aren't kept by AZA for a number of reasons. Mandrills and Hamadryas are the go-to for baboons in those zoos.
Gibbons, Geladas, and Guenons Galore! -- Primates in North America
As far as I know those two species are being phased out inn both AZA becase of the fact that most individuals of the non-Hamadryas Papio group are hybridised and those that are not don't have a sustainable population to justify a program. EAZA does have a plan to propagate Guinea baboon while pausing the breeding og Hamadryas baboon and phasing out yellow and Anubis baboon.
Golden-bellied Mangabeys were purposely phased out, with the last breeding age animals sent to Europe for their breeding program. There are increasingly few Red-capped left here, those are also doing better in Europe.
The Papio species AZA zoos focus on here is Hamadryas, there's a breeding program. I agree I'd like to see more zoos get into them, the large troops make for an amazing display.

Grant's Farm has ring-tailed lemurs.
Wright Park Zoo also has ring-tailed lemurs.
I find it shocking how few monkeys there are left in AZA accredited zoos 
. If you take away the non-accredited zoos from IndianRhino's lists many species are lost and the holdings for many other species decreases considerably.
The most numerous Asian monkey in AZA zoos is Francois langurs. They're found in under 20 institutions. The next most common Asian monkey are Japanese macaques.
Mantled guereza colobus are the most frequently displayed African monkey. Mandrills and Debrazza's monkeys have about 20 AZA holders and Angolan colobus are close behind.
Most of the well represented monkeys in AZA zoos come from South America. Golden lion tamarins and cotton-top tamarins are the two most widely held South American monkey species. White-faced saki monkeys, common squirrel monkeys, and black howler monkeys are also very popular. There are several species held by about 20 AZA zoos including; Goeldi's monkey; Geoffroy's marmoset; golden-headed lion tamarins, Bolivian gray titis; Central American spider monkeys; and black-headed spider monkeys.
Did I miss any commonly held monkey species?
The paucity of monkeys in AZA zoos overall is also showing up at the individual institution level. When I went to the Oregon Zoo a few years ago they had a few monkey species. I don't think they have a single monkey species on display anymore.
I've heard a lot of talk on this forum about the loss of ungulate diversity in AZA zoos. What about monkeys? I would love to see some more monkey species with sustainable AZA populations!

The North Florida Wildlife Conservation Center 2 hours from Jacksonville house Common Brown lemur, Ring-tailed lemur, and Black and white ruffed lemur

Wilstem Wildlife Park has cotton-top tamarins, as well as lemurs (they don't mention what lemurs they have at the facility but I'm 95% sure it's ring-tailed)
Branson's Wild World has common marmosets and ring-tailed lemurs (there might be more, but that's all I could gleam from in photos from the facility).
African Lion Safari no longer has siamang and black lemur.
Toronto Zoo no longer has Central American spider monkey.
Toronto Zoo no longer has Central American spider monkey.
The Trowbridge Creek Zoo in Vergas, MN should have Japanese Macaque.
Toronto has a new white handed gibbon male named Hoot. He came from Magnetic Hill Zoo in Moncton to be a companion for Toronto's lone female Holly. Both recently lost their long time partners. They have already been introduced and now are on exhibit with each other. Given Holly's age (50) and the fact neither have bred there is no hope of breeding.
Potawatomi Zoo now has Geoffery's marmosets
Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium has brown greater galago
