The Nathaniel Branden Institute (originally the Nathaniel Branden Lectures) was an organization founded by Nathaniel Branden in 1958 to promote Ayn Rand's ideology of Objectivism. The institute was responsible for the many Objectivist lectures and presentations around the country. Many of those associated with NBI worked on the 'official' Objectivist magazines, The Objectivist Newsletter and The Objectivist.
There were several subsidiary companies, such as the NBI Press (publishing arm that printed a couple of plays), NBI Book Service (sold Objectivist and 'approved' books and items), NBI Art Reproductions (art by Frank O'Connor, Joan Blumenthal, and the portrait of Ayn Rand by Ilona).
The institute disbanded after his break with Rand in August of 1968. The closest modern analogues are the Ayn Rand Institute and the The Atlas Society (formerly known as The Objectivist Center), with the former considered more 'orthodox'. Branden is associated with the latter.
