An UV spectral atlas of the interstellar spectrum toward SN 1987A in the LMC is presented, based on data obtained with the IUE satellite. The atlas extends from 1250 to 3200 A and includes 200 lines from 12 interstellar species. The results are interpreted in the context of existing optical and UV studies of interstellar gas toward the LMC. 40 references.
