Community members affiliated with the Pan Am Flight 103/Lockerbie Air Disaster Archives possess a shared experience
of loss. All members of the community group have in some way been affected by the bombing of Pan Am 103, and the
subsequent crash in Lockerbie, Scotland. Members of this international community include family and friends of the 270
victims first responders to the crash site residents of Lockerbie alumni and classmates of the 35 students killed in the
bombing faculty and staff of DIPA, Syracuse University, and the colleges whose students were studying abroad through
these programs investigators and lawyers journalists and authors. While connections of each member to the events
