Dead Sea Scrolls available online

The Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest known Bible texts, are now available online. Thanks to the Dead Sea Scrolles Digital Project, these ancient manuscripts can be studied and explored into the finest detail. The Israel Museum has developed the new website in collaboration with Google and allows access to high resolution images of the scrolls, together with some short information videos and background information regarding the texts and their history. Thusfar, five scrolls from the Israel Museum have been digitalised: The Great Isaiah Scroll, the Temple Scroll, the War Scroll, the Community Rule Scroll and the Commentary on the Habakkuk Scroll.
