This week, we are joining the NYAM Center for History, Smithsonian Libraries and other cultural institutions across the world for #ColorOurCollections (American spelling!).

From 1–5 February, libraries, galleries and museums will be sharing some of their favourite collections for you to colour and share on Instagram.

We’ve selected this beautiful series of Australian botanical illustrations by Samuel Harley Roberts, published in 1879 by the Committee of the Artisans’ School of Design in Melbourne.

Download our special PDF ready to print and colour OR view the original in our catalogue.

Share your colourful creations with us on Instagram using #ColorOurCollections (American spelling!) and #RemixVic like the ones below:
