Academic travel from Cambridge University and the formation of centres of knowledge, 1885–1954

Academic travel can be regarded as an important process in the production and exchange of scientific knowledge and the formation of scholarly networks across the globe (see, for example, Ackers, 2005; Altbach, 1989; Barnett & Phipps, 2005; Blumenthal, Goodwin, Smith, & Teichler, 1996; OECD, 1996). It may be necessary for accessing field sites, libraries, and archives when producing new scientific arguments, it may contribute to the dissemination and evaluation of scientific knowledge in different places, and it may play an important role for informal contacts, exchanges, and collaborations between distant laboratories and academics.
