This story is actually about eighteen months old. But it’s still quite interesting.
Once upon a time, BYU’s Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies, which became the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship, was on the cutting edge of both Dead Sea Scrolls research and the use of technology to recover severely damaged ancient texts. We actually had a subgroup, which I headed for a while, called the Center for the Preservation of Ancient Religious Texts. But those days are gone.
