The Rockford Institute was an American conservative think-tank associated with paleoconservatism, based in Rockford, Illinois.^[2] Founded in 1976, it ran the John Randolph Club^[3] and published the magazine Chronicles. In 2018 the Rockford Institute merged with the Charlemagne Institute (renamed from Intellectual Takeout in 2018), which became the new publisher of Chronicles.^[4] The Charlemagne Institute describes itself as "leading a cultural movement to defend and advance Western Civilization, the foundation of our American republic."^[5]

Chronicles, the Rockford Institute, and since 2018 the Charlemagne Institute have been described as central to the paleoconservative intellectual movement.^[6] Chronicles peaked in the 1990s^[7] and helped shape the paleoconservative revival that accompanied Patrick Buchanan's 1992 and 1996 presidential campaigns.^[8] At its peak, it had 15,000 subscribers.^[7] As of September 2016 there were 6,700 subscribers.^[9]
