From four years ago, the Library of the Academy of Medicine of New York city organizes a festival week on social networks in conjunction with other cultural institutions in the rest of the world. Your goal: make people color, a custom that many lose as they grow up.
Under the hashtag #ColourOurCollections you can find images uploaded by people all over the world, in them you will see the coloring of some of the many pages that the same library and its partners rise of free Internet and you can also colorize home.
Coloring books made with image collections of universities and museums
From the website of the New York Academy of Medicine, which is worth noting, has one of the collections of books on medicine rarest in existencefeature a section on the rising coloring books completely free of charge.
The coloring books are uploaded in PDF format and you can download without any limitation. Its origin varies, some come from universities, other libraries, other museums. For example, you have one of the Library of the University of Zaragoza that added during the festival this year.
There is also one of the Library “Prof. Arch. Manuel Ignacio Net” of the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism, University of Buenos Aires, which entered into the festival 2018.
In total, we can get almost 400 coloring books full of historical works original, which represent thousands and thousands of sheets of paper that you can use to paint as you think best, or simply enjoy them.
The unique lack which has the site is that the books are not organized by the order in which they were uploadedas in a blog. There is an index of categories, or alphabetical, or anything similar. You must navigate one by one and check until you find the ones you like. But it is certainly a great resource, especially if you are one of those who find pleasure and relaxation in coloring.
