Billy Graham Center Archives

Wheaton College hosts the Billy Graham Center for Evangelism which has a robust archival program that "gathers, preserves and makes available for use unpublished documents on the history of North American nondenominational Protestant efforts to spread the Christian Gospel."

The BGC Archives has a wonderful website chock full of informative articles, interesting exhibits, and finding aids to their collections.

I highly recommend these to start with:
