Scrolls From the Dead Sea is an online exhibit created by the Library of Congress. The site features five sections: Introduction -- The World of the Scrolls; The Qumran Library; The Qumran Community; Today -- 2,000 Years Later; and Conclusion. Lucidly written explanatory text, often accompanied by high-quality images of artifacts, forms the heart of each section. The result is an informative and engaging site on a topic of perennial interest.
