WRT 105-Getting Started with Research: SU Digital Collections

Digital collections are locally-produced and curated by Libraries’ staff. Special Collections Research Center materials make up the majority of our digital objects while other collections come from holdings in the Libraries' General Collections and through partnerships with other community members.

The University Archives is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and providing access to records that document the history of Syracuse University from its founding in 1870 to the present.

Founded in 1990, the Pan Am Flight 103/Lockerbie Air Disaster Archives is part of the Syracuse University Archives in the Special Collections Research Center at Syracuse University Libraries. The mission of the Pan Am Flight 103/Lockerbie Air Disaster Archives is to collect, preserve, and make available for research materials that document the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988 and its aftermath, as well as provide a place to personalize and honor the 270 victims of the bombing.

Collection areas include activism and social reform, architecture and design, popular culture, photography, and the history of recorded sound.
