Israel's Antiquities Authority is partnering with Google to bring the ancient Dead Sea Scrolls online, in the original languages and in translation. Some scholars have complained that access to the ancient texts, among the more interesting archaeological finds of the last century, has been too limited.
The images of the 30,000 fragments will be in high resolution, preventing a need for them to be re-imaged in the future and allowing in-depth analysis.
The first photographs are slated to be online within months.
