You believe you studied your finger grease does bad things in your smartphone’s touchscreen? Just imagine the horrors it might wreak on some ancient documents.

Five scrolls at the moment are available as hi-res images, which really you give the texture in their long-dead animal skin parchment. Google can also be offering up English translations of a few of the documents and is letting users add comments, because apparently historians weren’t too thinking about letting people pencil within the margins of the genuine thing.
