Google have teamed up with The Israel Museum in Jerusalem to put the Dead Sea Scrolls online.
Five scrolls have been digitised so far and can be searched as well as viewed.
From The Israel Museum:
"We are privileged to house in the Israel Museum's Shrine of the Book the best preserved and most complete Dead Sea Scrolls ever discovered," said James S. Snyder, Anne and Jerome Fisher Director of the Israel Museum. "They are of paramount importance among the touchstones of monotheistic world heritage, and they represent unique highlights of our Museum's encyclopedic holdings. Now, through our partnership with Google, we are able to bring these treasures to the broadest possible public."
