University and the University of Toronto for faculty and graduate students whose research
focuses on or integrates the Dead Sea Scrolls. The colloquium meets every spring and is hosted
at McMaster University and the University of Toronto in alternating years.
Please feel free to forward this invitation to any graduate student or faculty member who might
be interested.
Welcome!
