Actinium was discovered in residues from the uranium and radium extraction from ores. The concentration of Ac is extremely low. But actinium can be prepared and artificially, as a result of nuclear reactions.
Andre Louis Debierne (France) discovered actinium in 1899. Friedrich Oskar Giesel (Germany) independently discovered it in 1902 but Debierne is largely credited with the discovery.

How do you get pure actinium?
From Wikipedia "Actinium is found in trace amounts in uranium ore, but more commonly is made in milligram amounts by the neutron irradiation of 226Ra in a nuclear reactor. Actinium metal has been prepared by the reduction of actinium fluoride with lithium vapor at about 1100 to 1300°C."
