Eight new scrolls at the Reagan Library Exhibition

SCROLL ROTATION: Eight newly installed Dead Sea Scrolls on display at Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, U.S. (Chris Eyte, Christian Daily).
The newly installed scrolls include the Community Rule Scroll 4Q260, also known as the Manual of Discipline, which details the governing structure, daily practices, and core values of the 1st century BC Qumran community. They replace the previous set of eight scrolls as part of a regular rotation to preserve the ancient manuscripts, which are highly sensitive to light and environmental exposure.
I can't find any information yet about the other seven scrolls.

Background on the exhibition is here and links.
