In Memoriam

Jerome ClubbThe ICPSR community remembers former Director Jerome Clubb, who died on Dec. 15, 2021, in Vancouver, Washington, at 93. Known as the director who put the “S” in ICPSR, Clubb first directed ICPR's Historical Data Archive from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s. He helped establish the Consortium's two oldest topical archives — the National Archive of Data on Aging and the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data. In 1968, Clubb established ICPSR's Summer Training Program Seminar in Quantitative Historical Analysis, the longest continuous training venue for historical analysis in the social sciences. Clubb received ICPSR’s Warren Miller Award for Meritorious Service to the Social Sciences in 2003.

Simmons retired in 2019 with over 32 years of service and dedication to ICPSR and the University of Michigan.
