We are grateful, excited and encouraged by the strong support we have received from our friends and supporters, who recognize that when completed, the National Campus will serve as the pre-eminent venue for the research, study, conservation, restoration, housing, curation, publication, education, and illumination of the archaeological material excavated in Israel. It will be used by the Israel Antiquities Authority to educate the public about the importance of the archaeological work, by drawing researchers, students, archaeologists, and the general public to visit the visible Conservation and Restoration Laboratories, the National Archaeological Library and Archives, the National Treasures, the World Center for the Dead Sea Scrolls, the galleries, roof-top gardens, the National Collections, the Archaeology Theatre and study centers, and more.
