Scope and content
Series consists of records related to Prof. Safarian’s writing and publishing activity. The series begins with material documenting the publishing and copyright of his written work, followed by material related to shorter pieces such as book reviews and letters to the editor. The latter half of the series consists mostly of material used to produce more formal academic articles and monographs, including records on ideas for writing, unpublished writing, and published writing. A notable exception are the files related to The Eagle and the Bear, an unpublished memoir based on Prof. Safarian’s travels in Armenia and the former Soviet Union. Records in this series include correspondence, article annotations and notes, paper outlines and drafts, research data, travel journals and paraphernalia, contracts and press photos.
