Looks like they're finally on the way :)

These are different to the Dead Sea Scrolls Transcriptions you'll see on TWTY. Google obviously has a lot more money than I do, so they can take actual high-quality digital photographs of the scrolls, although their Terms of Use is a bit annoying =/

Anyway, kudos to Google for actually doing what scholars with 60 years and millions of dollar's worth of funding couldn't do - put the Dead Sea Scrolls in the public domain, for everyone to see :)

This is good as we can now confirm the work done here, but I really like the work done here far better because it lets one conpare one text to another easily. Please do not stop the work here until all is finished, awmane.
