It 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. It is our mission to make these recordings available in order to educate and inform a wider audience in our common quest to embrace a brighter future for all.
