Possible digitization of Dead Sea Scrolls

Jerusalem Post reports that "an international committee of 10 experts is meeting in Jerusalem this week to discuss the future digitization of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Israel Antiquities Authority said Sunday."

"The Antiquities Authority will then act on the recommendations of the committee, which is being convened on the 60th anniversary of the scrolls' discovery."

"Many of the thousands of fragments of the scrolls were photographed only once, around the time of their discovery."
