CoOL and
DistListWe need your help. FAIC seeks to improve CoOL and the DistList, and increase their value to the conservation field and beyond. In an effort to do so, we have put together a short, voluntary survey of DistList subscribers and other users of the CoOL website and its various resources. Please help us develop these invaluable resources by taking a few minutes to complete the survey
The DistList and Conservation Online (CoOL) were hosted by Stanford University Libraries for over twenty years. In the summer of 2009, Stanford announced that it could no longer support them, but agreed to transfer responsibility to the Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation (FAIC) effective June 19, 2009. CoOL and the DistList have been moved and reconfigured on a private server supported by FAIC.

Welcome to CoOL
CoOL, an online resource operated by the Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation is a full text library of conservation information, covering a wide spectrum of topics of interest to those involved with the conservation of library, archives and museum materials. It is a growing online resource for conservators, collection care specialists, and other conservation professionals

NewsAIC site moves to a new homeAIC has moved to a new host where you will find greatly expanded offerings for both conservation (and allied) professionals, the public, and members. AIC members will be especially happy to know that they will now benefit from member-oriented services well beyond those that CoOL has been able to provide. CoOL and AIC continue to work together to provide quality information for the conservation community. AIC and CoOL have had a long, and happy history together--the first AIC documents were added to CoOL in May 1994, when CoOL was still a Gopher and WAIS site-- and I'm very pleased to say that much of the content you're used to seeing here will continue to be available in CoOL. The Journal of the American Institute for Conservation (JAIC) remains here, as do the sites of the AIC Specialty Groups, including publications such as postprints, annuals, reports, abstracts, etc., from

The mailing list archives are in the process of being restored to service
Mailing list archives formerly hosted at palimpsest.stanford.edu have been moved to cool.conservation-us.org and will be made publicly available again as soon as possible. This requires a great deal of work including rewriting/adapting the software that processes the list mail traffic creates the archives. All the existing content up to the date of the site move has been preserved but we will have to find ways to re-acquire/reconstruct list traffic between the date of the move and the date at which service is resumed. It is likely that the older messages (those before the move) will be made available more quickly than more recent traffic.
