Where to find the reference genome from the Human Genome Project?

Hello everyone, I am brand new to bioinformatics field so I hope I'm not asking anything inappropriate. I've been scouring the Internet to find reference genome from the Human Genome Project. The few articles I read say that it is publicly available but none of them provide any direction as to how to find it. Any pointers is appreciated!

Thanks!

Which version? :)

I would generally just get the most recent one from Gencode or Ensembl (n.b., they only differ in how chromosomes are named).

I was not aware that there were different version! The latest sounds good to me. Thank you soo much!!

Thank you so much for the links! I will surely look into these as well.
