ix Acknowledgments Dealing with multivocal narratives means engaging intensively with a broad range of literature and sources. Hence, I would like to thank those peo- ple and institutions that supported me over the years while this work was in progress. Among these are the Vienna Initiativkolleg “The Sciences in Historical Context,” the Center for Austrian Studies in Minneapolis, the Institute for the History of Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw (Instytut Historii Nauki Polskiej Akademii Nauk), the Institute for the Contemporary History of the Czech Academy of Science in Prague (Ústav pro soudobé dějiny Akademie věd České republiky), the Center for the Urban History of East Central Europe in L’viv (Центр міської історії Центрально-Східної Європи), the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin, and, finally, the Austrian Research Association (Österreichische Forschungsgemeinschaft), which generously awarded me a MOEL scholarship for research in Cracow, Warsaw, and L’viv. For support with archival work in Ukraine, I want to record my special thanks to Tarik Cyril Amar from the Center for the Urban History of East Central Europe in L’viv, whose generous help allowed me to overcome the obstacles involved in acquiring permission to use the State Archive of L’viv Oblast, as well as to Serhiy Osachuk (Сергій Осачук) from the Bukovina Center, for support- ing my search of the holdings of the State Archive of Chernivtsi Oblast. I am also grateful to the Cultural Bureau of Carinthia’s provincial govern- ment for help with obtaining copies from Bukovina. The Herder-Stipend, a Leibniz-DAAD Fellowship, and an appointment at the Leibniz Graduate School “History, Knowledge, Media in East Central Europe” at the Herder Institute for Historical Research on East Central Europe–Institute of the Leibniz Association provided me with the time and intellectual atmosphere to finish the manuscript.
