The Orion Center wishes to thank the Dorot Foundation and an anonymous donor via the Canadian Friends of the Hebrew University for their support of the design and implementation of the original version of the Virtual Qumran project. The present rebuilding of the site has been made possible by a grant from the Mandel Institute of Jewish Studies at the Hebrew University. And as always, we are grateful to the Orion Foundation and the Sir Zelman Cowen Universities Fund for their ongoing support of the Orion Center and of this project.

A special note of appreciation to Esther Chazon and Steven Fassberg, former Orion directors, for initiating and overseeing, respectively, the creation and completion of the original version of VQ. We would also like to thank Esther Chazon, Hanan Eshel, Steven Fassberg, Shalom Paul, Eileen M. Schuller, Daniel R. Schwartz, Michael Segal, Michael Stone, and Emanuel Tov for their comments on the written materials.
