In 1988, Syracuse University's Division of International Programs Abroad (DIPA) in London was headquartered at 24 Kensington Park Gardens. On December 21, 1988, most of the faculty and staff of the London Center were at an end-of-semester gathering, which was interrupted by the news that Pan Am Flight 103, carrying many students from the program, had crashed in Lockerbie, Scotland. The London Center would be at the forefront of the University's initial response to the deaths of 35 of its DIPA students in the bombing.
The Pan Am 103 London Center Collection contains materials related to the 1988 London headquarters of Syracuse University's Division of International Programs Abroad (DIPA). The London Center was housed at 24 Kensington Park Gardens at the time of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. This collection contains materials related to the involvement of the Center in the aftermath of the bombing, and ongoing memorials for the 35 Syracuse University study abroad students killed in the bombing. The collection comprises the following series:
