The Israel Antiquities Authority has made high-resolution and multispectral images of thousands of fragments available online, including some of the oldest surviving biblical manuscript witnesses. This is a primary-source repository rather than a theological resource, but for demonstrating the antiquity and transmission of the Hebrew Scriptures it is extraordinary.

The Leon Levy Dead Sea Scrolls Digital Library offers an exceptional encounter with antiquity. Using the world's most advanced imaging technology, the Digital Library preserves thousands of scroll fragments, including the oldest known copies of biblical texts, now accessible to the public for the first time.

John Meade and Peter Gurry founded it specifically to explain how the Bible was copied, canonized, and translated, and its material is deliberately graded beginner / intermediate / advanced. Its staff includes OT textual scholar Peter Gentry, and its advisory board includes Charles Hill, Dirk Jongkind, Daniel Wallace, and P. J. Williams. It has especially useful material for pastors because it treats textual criticism as part of the history and theology of Scripture rather than as an isolated technical discipline.

Founded in 2019, the Text & Canon Institute produces academic research and church resources that illuminate the history of the Bible. We do this through three main areas.Resources: We help Christians understand and appreciate the Bible’s history with online articles, books, and conferences.Research: We foster responsible, biblical scholarship in publications, long-term research projects, and academic colloquia.Mentoring: We trained students to serve the church with academics through our TCI Fellowship, a unique mentoring program.

On September 13, 2002, Dr. Daniel B. Wallace founded the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) to utilize emerging technologies to preserve and study Greek New Testament manuscripts. Since then, CSNTM has collaborated with more than forty institutes on four continents to produce hundreds of thousands of images of New Testament manuscripts. In the process, CSNTM has discovered dozens of New Testament manuscripts. View these images at CSNTM’s digital manuscript collection.

It was founded by P. J. Williams specifically so scholars could discuss OT and NT manuscripts and textual history “from the perspective of historic evangelical theology.” Current and past contributors include Peter Head, Tommy Wasserman, Williams, Gurry, and numerous other working textual critics. It is more technical and conversational than Text & Canon, and particularly useful when you want to investigate a specific variant, manuscript, method, or recent development. Its resources page also gathers recommended commentaries and tools.

The ETC Blog is a forum for people with knowledge of the Bible in its original languages to discuss its manuscripts and textual history from the perspective of historic evangelical theology.

This is an academic research tool. It maintains the official catalogue of Greek NT manuscripts and provides manuscript images, transcriptions, data, and sophisticated research tools. Peter Gurry calls it effectively indispensable to contemporary academic text-critical work. It is not a confessional evangelical resource, so use it for primary data rather than theological framing; nevertheless, serious evangelical textual critics use it constantly.

This site is devoted to the study of all known Greek New Testament manuscripts and includes the most comprehensive repository of images, transcriptions, and metadata. The New Testament Virtual Manuscript Room is a place where scholars can come to find the most exhaustive list of New Testament manuscript resources, can contribute to marking attributes about these manuscripts, and can find state of the art tools for researching this rich dataset.
