Color Our Collections 2018
By DPLA, February 5, 2018.
Sharpen your colored pencils and crack open the crayon box! We are once again pleased to team up with libraries, archives, and museums across the country and around the world for #ColorOurCollections week, a celebration of public domain reuse and proudly coloring in your free time, taking place February 5 through February 9, 2018.
This year, we have selected a set of color-worthy images from across DPLA’s partner institutions, including art, maps, prints, posters, illustrations, and more. #ColorOurCollections selections from 2016 and 2017 are still fair game too!
Color your favorites and share them with us all week at on Twitter @DPLA or on Facebook using #ColorOurCollections.
