Chronicles (magazine)

Chronicles is a U.S. monthly magazine published by the paleoconservative Rockford Institute. Its full current name is Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture. The magazine is known for promoting anti-globalism and anti-intervention stances within conservative politics. The editor is Thomas Fleming; the executive editor is Scott P. Richert. Aaron D. Wolf is associate editor, and Chilton Williamson is the senior editor for books.

Chronicles was founded in 1976, soon after the Institute's establishment earlier that year. Originally known as Chronicles of Culture, the magazine was originally published by Leopold Tyrmand and John A. Howard. Thomas Fleming joined the Institute's staff in 1984 and became editor in 1985, after Tyrmand died. Fleming changed the title to Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture. Chronicles also promotes the activities of the John Randolph Club, another project of the Rockford Institute.

The magazine influenced the views of Patrick Buchanan and strongly supported his candidacy in the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections.
