| Abstract: | The coloring book collection consists of books containing line drawings, primarily for children to paint or color. Many, but not all, of these books are souvenirs of tourist sites or museums including Colonial Williamsburg, The Adirondack Museum, Shelburne Museum, Hagley Museum and The Smithsonian. Other general topics include pilgrims, the founding fathers, Christmas and the first moon landing. Coloring books of local interest include a 1987 book entitled "A Special Gift to Children, Henry and Clara Ford's Santa's Workshop" and the 1990 "Old Fashioned Farm Life Coloring Book, Nineteenth-Century Activities on the Firestone Farm and Greenfield Village". | ||
