Color Our Collections 2017
By DPLA, February 7, 2017.
That’s right, folks — #ColorOurCollections is back for kids and grown-ups alike! On your next lunch break, free evening, or Saturday afternoon, try your hand at coloring cultural heritage collections from institutions across the country.
This year’s selection from DPLA includes an array of art, posters, inventions, landscapes and animals. For even more choices, last year’s images are still fair game too!
Color your favorites and share them with us all week at @DPLA or on Facebook using #ColorOurCollections.
