History of Research (1960s) -- Notes

The Shrine of the Book opened in 1965 at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem to host the collection of the Dead Sea Scrolls

Four more volumes were published in the 1960s in the Discoveries in the Judaean Desert series: in 1961, 1962, 1965, and 1968, respectively.

In 1961 most of the scrolls from Cave 11 were purchased by the Government of the Netherlands, and a center for Qumran research (the Groningen Qumran Institute) was established at the University of Groningen under the leadership of Adam S. van der Woude.

In April 1965 the Scrolls from Cave 1 were permanently accommodated at the Israel Museum of Jerusalem in the Shrine of the Book; from 1965 to 1995 Magen Broshi would serve as curator of the collection. The international popularity of the Dead Sea Scrolls was enhanced by three major exhibitions, held at the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, DC (February 27 - March 21, 1965), at the University of Pennsylvania Museum, Philadelphia, PA (April 3-25, 1965), and at the British Museum London, England (December, 1965).

When the 1967 Six-Day War broke out, the manuscripts at the Palestine Archaeological Museum fell into the hands of Israeli authorities with the exception of the Copper Scroll which was taken to the Jordan Archaeological Museum in Amman. During the war Yigael Yadin had also Kando's house searched to find the copy of the Temple Scroll Kando had kept 11 years hidden there under the floor. All the confiscated manuscripts were added to the collection of Dead Sea Scrolls at the Shrine of the Book.
