Doordarshan and Films Division have made four biographical films on Sahayji which have been repreatedly telecast over the years. A commemorative postage stamp on Sahayji was issued in 1998 by the Post & Telegraph Dept , Govt of India. A massive collection of old and rare runs of literary journals, his entire literary correspondence (about 7,500 letters), and all his diaries (50) have been donated to the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library in Delhi which are all available also on microfische and microfilm.

Sahayji’s vast collection of rare Hindi books (over 5000) have been donated to NMML and Gandhi Sangrahalaya (Patna) which are available to research scholars. Sahayji’s complete writings have recently been published in 10 volumes as ‘Shivapujan Sahay Sahitya Samagra’ (edited by Dr Mangal Murty). Details of ‘Samagra’ are available on the blog : vibhutimurty.blogspot.com.
