Dead Sea Scrolls Go Digital

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL - AUGUST 27: A combination of two handout photos provided by the Israeli Antiquities Authority (IAA) on August 27, 2008, shows a colour digital image (top) of a fragment of the Dead Sea Scrolls at an IAA laboratory in Jerusalem, and the same fragment as seen by a high resolution single wavelength infrared imager. The IAA announced it had launched a pilot program to make three-stage digital images of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the most ancient Hebrew record of the Old Testament that has been found to date. Each of all of the thousands of Dead Sea Scrolls fragments belonging to about 900 manuscripts will be photographed in colour to record their current status, by a high resolution single wavelength infrared imager to help enhance the often illegible text, and by a spectral imager to monitor any changes in the fragments. The IAA said they would place the images in an internet data bank that will be available to the public. (Photos by IAA via Getty Images)
