John C. Trever (1916 - 2006, California) was the first American scholar to work on the Dead Sea Scrolls, beginning in 1948 and publishing photographs of the scrolls in books and articles. Trever was coincidentally in Jerusalem when he was contacted by the American School of Oriental Research to photograph a number of scrolls found in a cave by a Bedouin shepherd, due to his experience with this kind of work.
