The Belle Epoque is a turbulent period in Western European history between 
about 1880 and 1914 characterized by an emerging modernization in social and 
political organization, artistic and literary life and in the conduct and 
discoveries of the sciences.

 

Papers for the colloquium will explore aspects of network development, 
information creation, organization and exchange, and related "boundary 
spanning"ii activities of individuals and institutions and the scholarly tools 
and techniques that this enabled them to develop during the period of the 
"Belle époque" in which the Western European world underwent extensive social, 
political and "epistemic" change.
