The Lockerbie Air Disaster
This site is dedicated to the 270 men, women and children whose lives were lost in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988. Thirty-five students studying abroad with Syracuse University were killed in this terrorist attack.
The Syracuse University Archives established this special archive in 1990 to:
- bring together in one place materials generated regarding the disaster and make those materials available for research, and
- provide a place to personalize our students whose lives were lost; where their families can donate materials by or about them to let the world know in some way what has been lost by their deaths.
Included in the collection are newspaper and magazine clippings, photographs, information on the trial, government documents, books, audio and videotapes, posters, exhibit materials, and items specific to individual victims.
