Yes, CoOL is down for a short time, but one associated website is back
up on a new server.  

Eventually the DNS will send you (without you knowing it) to the new
URL if one enters say <videopreservation website>.  The albumen
website is down right now but it has a new URL, so it will be back
soon.

I just tried Conservation Online (CoOL) and got the message <WORKING
ON CoOL. CHECK BACK>.

The two web supervisors had to physically move the servers from
Stanford Libraries to a new server farm in the East Bay.  This is a
planned process and is going according to estimates.  Stanford
Libraries had to trim their staff and operations

However, AIC has is now funding the process; see
