A memorial vigil was held in Hendrick's Chapel on Syracuse University's main campus immediately following the announcement that 35 Syracuse University students were killed onboard Pan Am 103. Memorial vigils like this and other, larger commemorative events have been held at various times since the bombing on December 21, 1988. Individual schools and colleges that lost students have also sponsored memorial events.
Many communities around the country and the world have held memorial services in remembrance of the victims of Pan Am 103. The village of Lockerbie holds ceremonies annually and the Victims of Pan Am Flight 103, Inc. plans a memorial service at the Arlington Memorial Cairn site at Arlington National cemetery every year on the anniversary of the bombing.
The Pan Am 103 Memorials Collection has been divided into two subject based series: Syracuse University memorials and Other memorials. These materials relate to various memorial services held in commemoration of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, either on Syracuse University's campus and sponsored by the university or held off campus and sponsored by independent organizations or communities. This division does not preclude the involvement of Syracuse University in outside services or the presence of those not associated directly with the university at Syracuse University sponsored events.
Not every memorial service planned for Pan Am 103 is represented in this collection.
