#ColorOurCollections


Each year the New York Academy of Medicine hosts a #ColorOurCollections imitative.  Participating archival and library institutions submit digitized coloring books composed of  sketches and artworks found within their collections.  Patrons are encouraged to color the images and post them to Twitter with the hashtag #ColorOurCollections. You can view the coloring books at https://library.nyam.org/colorourcollections/

Although the Delaware State University Archives is not a formal participant in the movement, I thought it would be fun to offer you a similar opportunity. Share your artworks @desu.library and  #ColorOurCollections. I can't wait to see your artistic skills.

Below: This artwork was scanned from the 1976 Statesman yearbook.  The artist is Allen Smiley  who was a Freshman at the time of publication.
