Forever Saroyan, LLC, was developed by William Saroyan’s cousin, Charles Janigian, to preserve, protect, and honor the memories and legacies of the Saroyan and Minasian families for generations to come.
A major goal of the archive is publishing manuscripts, drafts, letters, and story collections that either have never been released to the public or have been forgotten and need a refresh.
Although this is a privately funded family archive, we choose to make our unique materials available to the world via this website, scheduled tours of our facility, and published books so that the next generation of scholars and enthusiasts will study and write about Saroyan and his family.
