started out as an idea in London in 1991 as HMR Duplications. (And
though we were not entirely related to Her Royal
Majesty, it seemed fortuitous to have the same initials, more
or less.)
Based in Oakland, California, we have built an extensive archive of
socially-conscious ideas gathered from hundreds of conferences
worldwide over the past 18 years. It is our mission to make
these recordings available in order to educate and inform a wider audience in
our common quest to create a better world.
