Library and Archives

The library and archives of Wheaton College are extensive and unique in their scope. With materials from Billy Graham, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, Frederick Buechner and many other Christian luminaries, these resources offer a treasure trove of information for students, scholars and visitors to study and enjoy.

Billy Graham Center Archives

The Billy Graham Center Archives specializes in collecting and preserving unpublished documents that tell the story of North American Protestant non-denominational missions and evangelistic activities, especially during the 20th century. Collections include Billy Graham’s sermons, administrative records of organizations (Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Africa Inland Mission, Overseas Missionary Fellowship, Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization, and others) and conferences (Lausanne Congress, International Conferences for Itinerant Evangelists), papers of evangelists and missionaries (Billy Sunday, Paul Rader, Jim and Elizabeth Elliot, Donald McGavran, and others), and oral histories (many with retired missionaries and Billy Graham Center Scholarship recipients from throughout the world).
