The Portola Institute was a "nonprofit educational foundation" founded[5] in Menlo Park, California in 1966 [6] by Dick Raymond.[7] The Portola institute helped to develop other organizations such as The Briarpatch Society[8] and Bob Albrecht's People's Computer Company.[9] It was also the publisher of Stewart Brand's Whole Earth Catalog beginning with the first issue in 1968.[10][7] The first issue of The Whole Earth Catalog notes that the catalog is one division of The Portola Institute[11] and that other activities of the Institute include: "computer education for all grade levels, simulation games for classroom use, new approaches to music education, Ortega Park Teachers Laboratory." [6] Raymond and Brand later collaborated to form the Point Foundation.[7]
