The Dead Sea Scrolls Online
CNN (probably among others) has been reporting that a team are currently in the process of taking high-resolution photographs of the Dead Sea Scrolls to eventually post on the Internet.

One of my favorite memories of ETS in Orlando in 1998 was standing at the NET Bible booth for a long period of time debating the interpretation of the Carmen Christi with Dan.
