[WEB4LIB] Old American Memory Project Link no longer working

The link we use is still functioning:

http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/amhome.html

I notice the American Memory "home" link is to:
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/ammemhome.html

which looks better than memory.loc.gov alone.

We link to American Memory from selected dynamic subject pages (through
a resources database & content management tool), but it is not on our
"databases by title" list (primarily subscription databases).  But it is
something we've considered adding there!  The main entry and 60+
individual resources appear in our OPAC, so if/when we finally make the
automatic connections between our catalog and web resources database,
we'll have those links ready to go on subject or interdisciplinary
pages.

Just in case we are not the only institution on this list for whom this
change has escaped notice:

The old American Memory Project link:
http://rs6.loc.gov/ammem/amhome.html
is no longer linking to anything.
The new link is:
http://memory.loc.gov/

And while we're on the subject, do any of you include it among your
databases?
