Color Our Collections

Libraries, Archives, Museums, and other cultural institutions hosted #ColorOurCollections again this month to draw attention to some of the many wonderful images found in books, manuscripts, works of art, or just doodles found in the margins.

Try your hand at coloring some of our cultural heritage collections. Imagine yourself in a scriptorium inside a European monastery, guided by only candlelight, working side by side with other scribes and artists. Print our pages and share them whenever you want. We’ll be happy to see your creative work! Just tag your image with #gtownlibrary to be included in our curated collection.
