Dead Sea Scrolls Research and Publications
Hebrew University Science and Antiquities Group:
The work of the Science and Antiquity Group has been directed toward bringing together Dead Sea Scrolls scholars and natural scientists, representing a wide range of disciplines, to produce new research and data associated with the archaeological finds from Qumran and the Dead Sea area. Work conducted by the group includes, DNA analysis of scrolls parchment, neutron activation analysis of clay from scroll jars to determine provenance, and physical reconstruction of scrolls from fragments.

Princeton Dead Sea Scrolls Project:
 The Princeton Dead Sea Scrolls Project was begun in 1985 under the direction of Dr. James H. Charlesworth, George L. Collord Professor of New Testament Language and Literature, Princeton Theological Seminary. The goal of the project was to help preserve scrolls and scroll fragments and to bring the texts to both scholars and the public in accessible published format. Over the years, the project has advanced to using state-of-the art technology with assistance from the Xerox Corporation and the Rochester Institute of Technology to enhance seriously deteriorated texts and even recover lost information. Another aspect of the project is photographic, multi-lingual translations of the scrolls. The first in the series is a lavishly-published version of the Rule of the Community, and it is essential for understanding the history and theology of the Qumran community. The book incorporates state-of-the-art photography and transcription into six different languages to make the scrolls accessible to the world community. Other books available in the series include: The Dead Sea Scrolls, Volumes 1, 2, 4a, 4b, and a Graphic Concordance to the Dead Sea Scrolls.
