The Origins of Virgo and the Emergence of the International Gravitational Wave Community

The advent of long-base-line interferometric detectors projected the field of GW research in the cosmos of Big Science, a gradual transformation taking place at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s. The first two generations of detectors - Joe Weber's resonant
