Google have scanned five of the Dead Sea Scrolls and in partnership with The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, made them available over the here.
The scrolls available are The Book of Isaiah, the War Scroll, the Temple Scroll, the Commentary on Habbukuk Scroll and the Community Rule Scroll.
They have been photographed at a resolution 200 times more than the average consumer camera. The result are images that show the minute details in the text and the parchment.
