In September 1991, then-director William A. Moffett announced that the library's photographic archive of the [[Dead Sea Scrolls]] would be available to all qualified scholars, not just those approved by the international team of editors that had so long limited access to a chosen few. The collection consists of 3,000 photographs of all the original scrolls.<ref>{{cite news|first=John Noble|last=Wilford|date=September 22, 1991|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/09/22/us/monopoly-over-dead-sea-scrolls-is-ended.html|title=Monopoly Over Dead Sea Scrolls Is Ended|newspaper=[[New York Times]]|access-date=2017-02-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170822120602/http://www.nytimes.com/1991/09/22/us/monopoly-over-dead-sea-scrolls-is-ended.html|archive-date=2017-08-22|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|first=John Noble|last=Wilford|date=February 22, 1995|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/02/22/obituaries/william-a-moffett-62-is-dead-opened-door-to-dead-sea-scrolls.html|title=William A.
