From the article/news release:

A joint grant-writing initiative of USC’s West Semitic Research Project, InscriptiFact, the USC Archaeological Research Collection and the USC Libraries has secured $600,000 in funding from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services…The project is a photo-archival system that preserves ancient, Near Eastern inscriptions in some 125,000 high-resolution images. InscriptiFact, a collaboration between USC Libraries and USC College, digitizes the images to make them accessible online.

Scholars and educators in 26 countries use InscriptiFact to study more than 19,000 images of the Dead Sea Scrolls and many other ancient inscriptions, clay tablets and artifacts.
