History
Humanity+ (Humanity plus) was founded in 1998 as the World Transhumanist Association (WTA). The archived WTA site can be found at http://transhumanism.org/index.php/WTA/hvcs/.
The name Humanity+ and stylised h+ logo were adopted in 2008.
Resources
Humanity+ maintains core documents about transhumanism:
Humanity+ publishes the web magazine h+ Magazine.
Humanity+ operates Humanity+ Press, a nonprofit publisher "focused on works that promote understanding, interest and participation in fields of emerging innovation with strong potential to lead to a radically better future". Humanity+ Press has published six books to date.
Historically, Humanity+ hosted the TransVision series of conferences.
