On December 21, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103, a Boeing 747 christened Clipper Maid of the Seas, was destroyed by a terrorist bomb over Lockerbie, Scotland. The bombing and subsequent crash resulted in the deaths of 270 individuals, including 35 students returning home from study abroad through Syracuse University's Division of International Programs Abroad (DIPA). The investigation and eventual indictment in 1991 of two Libyan intelligence agents, Abdel Basset al-Megrahi and Lamen Fhimah, were covered by news outlets across the globe. The trial held at Kamp van Zeist, Netherlands in 2001 and the eventual release of al-Megrahi, the only person convicted of the bombing, in 2009 returned Pan Am 103 to the world spotlight. Subsequent events in Libya, including the fall of the Gaddafi regime and the 2022 arrest and indictment of accused bombmaker Abu Agila Mohammad Mas'ud Kheir Al-Marimi, have brought Pan Am 103 back into headlines once again.
The Pan Am 103 Clippings Collection contains articles and news items related to the December 21, 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, and its aftermath. These clippings were collected from various periodicals beginning in December 1988, immediately following the bombing.

Anniversaries contains articles related to commemorations of the anniversary of the bombing.
Books and publications contains articles related to monographs, special issues of periodicals, and other long-form analyses or commentary related to the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.
Subject files comprise the bulk of the collection, and are arranged alphabetically by subject. This series encompasses the following subsections: Legal proceedings, containing articles related to litigation and prosecution surrounding the bombing; Lockerbie, containing articles pertaining to the town of Lockerbie, Scotland and its residents; and Syracuse University, containing articles and news items documenting the impact of the bombing on the University community following the loss of 35 students traveling through its Division of International Programs Abroad (DIPA).
