The exhibition SCROLLS FROM THE DEAD SEA: THE ANCIENT LIBRARY OF
QUMRAN AND MODERN SCHOLARSHIP brings before the American people a
selection from the scrolls which have been the subject of intense
public interest.  Over the years questions have been raised about
the scrolls' authenticity, about the people who hid them away the
the period in which they lived, about the secrets the scrolls
might reveal, and about the intentions of the scrolls' custodians
in restricting access.  The Library's exhibition describes the
historical context of the scrolls and the Qumran community from
whence they may have originated; it also relates the story of
their discovery 2,000 years later.  In addition, the exhibition
encourages a better understanding of the challenges and
complexities connected with scroll research.

The exhibition is divided into four (4) sections: Introduction --
The World of the Scrolls, The Qumran Community, The Qumran
Library, and Today -- 2,000 Years Later.  The original exhibition
included nearly 100 objects:  scroll fragments, artifacts from
the Qumran site, and books and illustrations from the Library of
Congress' collections.  The online exhibit includes images of 12
scroll fragments and 29 other objects loaned by the Israel
Antiquities Authority for this exhibit.  This exhibition is on
display at the Library of Congress from April 29, 1993 through
August 1, 1993.  The online exhibit will be available by
anonymous FTP indefinitely.

The exhibit will be of interest to scholars of first-century
Judaism and Christianity, scholars of Middle and Near Eastern
studies, Old and New Testament scholars, archeologists, students
of antiquities, and to librarians and information professionals.
Please get the README file for details on what files this exhibit
contains.  If you have questions about how to use FTP, speak to
your local computer support person.  If you have questions or
comments about the exhibit, please contact me.
