Billy Graham archives moving in June from Wheaton College to library in North Carolina
His son Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said moving the materials “is part of our continuing consolidation in Billy Graham’s hometown.”
The archives of the evangelist Billy Graham, who died last year, will be moved from their location at Wheaton College in Illinois to the library named after him in North Carolina.
Materials that will be moved in June include sermon transcripts, personal correspondence, and radio and TV recordings.
“This is part of our continuing consolidation in Billy Graham’s hometown,” said his son Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, upon announcing the move. “Some 214,000 people visited the Billy Graham Library here in Charlotte last year alone, and it makes sense for my father’s archives to be housed and maintained here for visiting scholars to conduct research, and for our guests to see when they come visit our ministry headquarters, the Library, and my parents’ gravesites.”
