+## Blue Brain Project Era: 2015 - 2024
+
+HighFive was created and maintained as part of the BBP from 2015 until Dec 2024
+(when BBP closed) at [BlueBrain/HighFive](https://github.com/BlueBrain/HighFive).

+## Post Blue Brain Project: 2025 - present
+
+One of the main contributors to
+[BlueBrain/HighFive](https://github.com/BlueBrain/HighFive) wanted to keep the
+project alive past the end of BBP. This repository was created to provide a
+seemless continuation of HighFive; and prevent fracturing or capturing of the
+project.
