In the years since the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988, many have been inspired to give voice to the tragedy through creative and artistic outlets. The Artistic Responses Collection contains materials related to some of these creations. Works by poets, dramatists, visual artists, sculptors, photographers, and musicians are represented in this collection. Undoubtedly, many will continue to be inspired to interpret the tragedy of Pan Am 103 in ways that bring artistic beauty into the world. This collection will continue to grow as more of those works are contributed to the Archives.
