Virtual Visit - Chocolate, Food of the Gods 
 The New York Academy of Medicine
While chocolate is popular all year round, it just seems to be everywhere in February! In this month’s virtual visit, Historical Collections Librarian Arlene Shaner takes us into the Library’s collections to learn about the history of chocolate and explore the different ways we have consumed it over the centuries.
Additional information for institutions is available at ColorOurCollections.org, which includes the guidelines for participation and templates for coloring sheets.
