We report ultraviolet and optical spectra of IE 0102-7219, the oxygen-rich supernova remnant in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The UV data contain strong lines of oxygen, carbon, neon, and magnesium. OI recombination lines in the optical and UV permit the relative line intensities to be determined from 1200Å to 1 micron. Models assuming shock excitation and X-ray photoionization have been calculated and compared with the observations.
