Imagine taking a page like this…..
And transforming it into this.
Now you can! February 1-5, 2021 New York Academy of Medicine features “#ColourOurCollections. Archives, libraries, and other cultural institutions around the world are sharing their free coloring sheets based on their collections. As of today, you can find this year’s coloring pages, taken from the NJ Digital Newspaper Project along with Rutgers University Libraries Special Collections and University Archives past pages.
