Google posting the complete Dead Sea Scrolls online

It looks like Google has hashed out a deal with the Israeli Antiquities Authority to scan the complete Dead Sea Scrolls using multi-spectral imaging technology developed by NASA, and place them online for your reading pleasure. Indeed, not only will the hi-res imaging place the scrolls in the digital domain, it might also uncover new letters and words previously unseen when the things were photographed using infrared tech in the 1950s.

Wow! I can’t wait for this.  It will be great to have access to hi-res images of the scrolls. Thanks Google :)
