HEYDAY

Heyday was founded by Malcolm Margolin in 1974 when he wrote, typeset, designed, and distributed The East Bay Out, a quirky, personal, affectionate guide to the natural history of the hills and bayshore around Berkeley and Oakland. Out of this modest first effort a major California cultural enterprise has taken shape. Heyday publishes around twenty books a year, founded two successful magazines-News from Native California and Bay Nature-and has taken a lead role in dozens of prominent public education programs throughout the state... Heyday is an independent, nonprofit publisher founded in 1974 in Berkeley, California. We are a diverse community of writers and readers, activists and thinkers. Heyday promotes civic engagement and social justice, celebrates nature's beauty, supports California Indian cultural renewal, and explores the state's rich history, culture, and influence. Heyday works to realize the California dream of equity and enfranchisement.
