In this feature, we present a small sampling of two distinct collections from our holdings. The first highlights an archival collection that provides valuable depth and insight into an important published memoir of the Armenian Genocide. The second brings together books, posters, and archival materials centered on a single figure who has come to be one of the most widely known survivors of the Armenian Genocide.
These materials are preserved in NAASR’s Mardigian Library and stand as powerful evidence of the experiences of survivors of the Armenian Genocide and their enduring legacies, as well as the tenacity of the descendants who have worked to preserve the memories and materials that keep genocide survivors and victims alive.
This feature is dedicated to all those who shared their stories, as well as to those who could not; to those who survived, and to all who were lost—whether their final resting place is known or not.
