In the CCFv3 whitepaper ([https://community.brain-map.org/uploads/short-url/1iSu6ECUHtPXOCatYIme5nWiUa8.pdf](https://community.brain-map.org/uploads/short-url/1iSu6ECUHtPXOCatYIme5nWiUa8.pdf)) the CCFv1 is mentioned and shown. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/brainobservatory/original/2X/7/704fac001e52d36a60b4f37af03d3f0268e46d84.png) Is this file available or archived anywhere. I have searched but haven’t been able to find anything. CCFv2 is of course available via the allen informatics archive but v1 doesnt seem to be. Any help is greatly appreciated 🙂 ---

Thanks for your question and your interest. CCFv1 was originally released as a book/CD-ROM. I don’t believe a digital version exists in our data ecosystem. Because it has been superceded by the v2 and v3 versions, I suspect it will be hard to track down. Is there a particular use case that CCFv1 would help with in your work? ---

Thanks for your quick reply! I am trying to add and archive atlases to the [brainglobe atlas api](https://github.com/brainglobe/brainglobe-atlasapi). I want to add historical atlases to enable reproducibility of historical results and for tracking how atlases change over time. All good if this atlas is no longer available and thank you for checking. ---

A colleague had this on an old hard drive in case you would like it for your records or for the [informatics archive server](https://download.alleninstitute.org/informatics-archive/). > **[Data Proxy](https://data-proxy.ebrains.eu/deepslice?prefix=ccfv1%2F)** > > Data-Proxy - Ebrains ---

Thank you to you and your colleague. I’ll make sure this gets into the informatics archive server (and/or its successor). Cheers!
