Collection consists of a wide variety of materials (correspondence, form letters, audio tapes, films and videotapes, etc.) that document the ministry and history of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) in the United States and around the world. Based on earlier collecting protocols, the collection also contains material about Billy Graham personally, such as oral history interviews with his Wheaton College classmates.

Originally this collection contained mainly materials gathered by the staff about Billy Graham or the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and its affiliates that were not produced by the BGEA. The collection was repurposed in 2022 (following the BGEA's retrieval of its records from Wheaton College to its headquarters in Charlotte, NC, in 2019) to contain materials about the various ministries of the BGEA from non-BGEA sources. Many items relating only to Graham outside the BGEA context remain, but most of the Graham-only materials are in Collection 15.
