According to Robert Melson, Andonian's report on post-1915 deportations and killings of Armenians are crucial for the research of that period.[6]

From 1928 to 1951 Andonian directed the Nubarian Library in Paris, and succeeded in hiding and saving most of the collection during the German occupation of Paris. He also worked to collect eyewitness testimonies of the genocide.[7]
