About the McClure Center Archive
The McClure Center Archive brings together the publications of the University of Idaho’s James A. and Louise McClure Center for Public Policy Research for long-term open access. The Center regularly publishes new materials on their website, in hard copy, and the VERSO repository. The items are transferred to the University of Idaho Library for preservation and are added to this digital collection on an annual basis.
Since 2007, the McClure Center has directly supported public policy research and collaboration in Idaho by facilitating public discourse, publishing research, and engaging students around public policy making.
University of Idaho’s James A. and Louise McClure Center for Public Policy Research was launched in 2007 and has become Idaho’s most trusted and preeminent public policy research entity. Based in Boise, the McClure Center addresses policy issues of importance to Idaho and the region.
Mission
Inspired by Senator and Louise McClure’s legacy, the McClure Center for Public Policy Research conducts evidence-based research, informs public dialogue and policy, facilitates collaborations and engages students in learning about public policy making.
Vision
We are Idaho’s trusted center for public policy research and collaboration.
A champion for state water rights and a nationally recognized leader in energy and natural resource policy, U.S. Senator Jim McClure earned the respect of his colleagues for his thoughtful pursuit and promotion of bipartisan collaboration leading to the enactment and execution of sound public policy. Louise McClure was admired for her leadership, commitment to public service, intellect and grace. The McClure Center’s collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to addressing society’s complex challenges sustains their legacy.
