As the custodian institution for these manuscripts it is the correct source for their dating, conservation history and physical description as the museum itself documents them. Its limit is that it is a museum's own presentation for a general public audience, not an independent academic study of the scrolls' textual content, so a claim about a contested textual or historical question needs a scholarly source in addition to this custodial presentation.FactsCross-Tradition ConnectionsClaims Backed By This Source (29 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested2Custodial/institutional self-account (a museum's own record of its holdings).
