The Billy Graham Center Archival Research Lecture
What is it like to do historical research in an archives? How do researchers use scrapbooks, letters, newspaper clippings, oral history interviews, and other materials to construct a historical narrative? What are the benefits of using these physical fragments to understand the past? Every year the Archival Research Lecture features a scholar whose research in the BGC Archives answers some of these questions.
Join us for the Billy Graham Center Archival Research Lecture, and learn how scholars use archival sources to understand the past.

The Evangelical Archives Conference
In July 1988, the BGC Archives hosted the The Evangelical Archives Conference at Wheaton College. Sponsored by the Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals and funded by the Lilly Foundation, the Conference addressed the unique challenges facing archives and memory institutions dedicated to acquiring and preserving materials documenting American evangelicalism. Final reports and recommendations from the Conference were published as Heritage at Risk: Proceedings of the Evangelical Archives Conference.
