dbSNP b126 in vcf format

Hello everyone,

I am trying to find dbSNP build 126 in vcf format so that I can use it to analyze HapMap data. dbSNP directs me here, but I can't find the older versions in vcf format to download. Does anyone know where I can find it?

Thank you in advance!

I have a feeling dbSNP don't archive old releases (see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK44443/). I'm also quite sure that there's an entry in the VCF (dbSNPBuildID) which shows you which release a variation has been added, so you can parse this information by selecting variants that are in release 126 and before.

Thank you for your answer. In that case I think it might be easier for me to liftover the hapmap data to hg19 since most population tools out there are geared towards 100 Genomes and already have the supporting data available for hg19 build.
