    Looks like he may have allowed the domain registration to expire.

    Thank you for all the responses.

    My intent was dual:
    a) find out if those excellent web pages would return.
    b) find out if George is still active.

    thanks and kind regards,
    - Jim

    Yeah looks like it expired. I just sent him an email letting him know. Hopefully he brings it back, there was a ton of great information on that website!

    Looks like the site name "license" on the Web has expired.  Normally someone can contact the registrar organization that set them up, pay the fee, and have it restored, or go to another one and get the license through through another one.

    I think it is a shame that the web site is no more. It is/was a wealth of information developed over a distinguished career.  You can find some of the material in the Web Archive, but his fabulous pdf presentations seem to not be available.  Some contact information was on this web site including his phone
    https://web.archive.org/web/20160604125303/http://www.georgevandervoort.com/

    Maybe someone in the ASM community can contact Drexel University to see if they would host the site. Van Der Voort was a graduate a Drexel.

    For those of you who do not:
    Google: WayBack Machine
    or directly go to:
    Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free & Borrowable Books, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine

    Thanks for the reminder Ana.

    regards,

    The Wayback Machine is a great resource.....and one can read a lot of the original site here.   Unfortunately the old presentations that were embedded inside the web pages as pdf's are missing.  It is truly a shame that this body of work could be lost
