Have the Dead Sea Scrolls all been translated?
No. There are some parts of the scrolls that are either difficult to read or are so fragmented that it is impossible to make out what the words say. However, the vast majority of the Dead Sea Scrolls have been properly identified and translated. The Israel Museum in Jerusalem has an interactive website where you can examine some of the more important scrolls and see their translations. There is a link below.
What books of the Bible are from the Dead Sea Scrolls?
None of the Bible is based on the Dead Sea Scrolls as originals. The Scrolls consisted of copies of many of the existing books of the Old Testament, plus a number of secular documents containing rules and administrative procedures of the community at the Dead Sea. The principal value of the Scrolls is that they enable scholars to see what the books of the Old Testament actually said up to the time in the first century when they were hidden, and what changes have occurred since that time.
Where were the Dead Sea Scrolls found?
The Dead Sea Scrolls are a collection of 972 texts from the Hebrew Bible and extra-biblical documents found between 1947 and 1956 on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea, from which they derive their name. They were specifically located at Khirbet Qumran in the British Mandate for Palestine, in what is now known as the West Bank.
Is there a dead sea scroll exhibit?
Yes. The dead sea scrolls are on exhibit at the 'Shrine of the Book' museum in Jerusalem. See http://www.answers.com/topic/shrine-of-the-book for more info.
Why did scholars study the Dead Sea Scrolls?
Even before they could be read and translated, people began imagining that the Dead Sea Scrolls would contain truths that would prove the story of Jesus, or that they would somehow prove the reliability of the Old Testament. Some even hoped that they would contain copies of the New Testament gospels, an expectation that would have moved the date of the gospel authorship back to before 70 CE. These expectations added to the fame of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Eventually, scholars began to find real value in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Many of the scrolls were ancient copies of the Hebrew scriptures, allowing scholars to compare modern versions of the Bible and see what changes have occurred over the last two thousand years. They also allowed scholars to compare an early Hebrew version of the scriptures, to see how accurate the Septuagint translation would have been. They have provided a window into the culture of Palestinian Jews of the first century.

Importance of the dead sea scrolls?
The Dead Sea Scrolls were very important. The Dead Sea Scrolls are the oldest recordings of the Bible!!! (WOW) Scientists found out that they were written at about 100 B.C. Before they were found in 1944, (i think) (well, sometime around 1944 anyway,) the oldest recordings of the bible were traced to 9 A.D. (or, i think it was 9 A.D. (oh noes i should have paid more attention in Religion class yesterday) >.< Epic fail
How does periodization help historian better understand the past?
Historians look for causes and effects that help to explain how and why events happened. They try to see the past through the eyes of the people who lived it. When they study the past, historians ask themselves questions. The answers to the questions help historians draw conclusions about the past.
What do the Dead Sea Scrolls prove about the Torah?
We rely upon our unbroken tradition, not upon something unknown for two thousand years and suddenly found. Nonetheless, the Dead Sea Scrolls are one more example of the acuracy of our masorah-tradition, since we see from them texts that are the same as what we use today. I recall years ago, when these scrolls were pubicized in the U.S., and a Hebrew teacher of mine had no difficulty in reading the familiar exact verses of Isaiah. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that the Qumran area where these scrolls were found was inhabited by a tiny breakaway, non-traditional sect; so the few non-canonical writings which were also found there hold no interest for the normative Jewish tradition.
