Because the Roman Catholic church kept them away from public view while they "edited" parts of it. This was because there was information within the writings that proved that many of the practices of the catholic tradition were a heresy to the teachings of Jesus and un-biblically based.

Can we read the Dead Sea scrolls?
There is a project just starting, in fact, which will put the scroll material into digital form and then online. At present, the scrolls can be seen in Israel, and also Jordan, but one would need to check which country owned which parts of the scrolls. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

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.

If the Dead Sea Scroll was written hundred of years before the New Testament but survived then why then are there no original manuscripts of the New Testament today?
The Dead Sea Scrolls survived as a result of the fortunes of war and climate. After the end of the Jewish War in 70 CE, the Essenes abandoned the scrolls in remote caves near the Dead Sea. They remained undisturbed for nearly two thousand years in a dry climate favourable for their survival. Even so, many of the scrolls are mere fragments. On the other hand, the earliest New Testament documents would have been working documents - read, preached from, and copied, until they simply disintegrated. We should read nothing from the lack of original New Testament manuscripts.
