The New York Academy of Medicine Library hosts its seventh annual coloring festival. Libraries, museums, and archives worldwide have uploaded the latest coloring books based on rare books, prints, and maps from their collections.
Launched by The New York Academy of Medicine Library in 2016, #ColorOurCollections is an annual coloring festival on social media during which libraries, museums, archives, and other cultural institutions worldwide share free coloring content featuring images from their collections.
The annual #ColorOurCollections week generally occurs on the first week of February, when new coloring books are released on this website and shared by participating institutions on social media throughout the week. The coloring books from 2021 and previous years remain accessible year-round for free download.
