The California Baptist University Archives at the Annie Gabriel Library is the university’s principle repository for preserving historical documents and records related to CBU and the Southern Baptist Convention. The Archives currently host two collections:

The Queenie Simmons Archive serves as the designated campus repository for records, documents, publications, and other materials that document the history of California Baptist University.

The Southern Baptist Depository and Archive (SBDA) holds unique collections documenting the history of the Southern Baptist Convention, with special focus on Southern Baptists in California, the Western United States, and around the Pacific Rim, including churches, organizations, and individuals that have contributed to Southern Baptist life. The SBDA also holds the organizational records of the California Southern Baptist Convention (CSBC).
