If you are interested in doing research, consider these resources:
First, the Consortium of Pentecostal Archives is a database several different denominations share. Many full text resources are here at your fingertips.
The Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center is the largest Pentecostal archives and has a museum as well. The director is Darrin Rodgers.
The Dixon Pentecostal Research Center is also a wonderful site for research. The director is Dr. David Roebuck.
Oral Roberts University has the Holy Spirit Resource Center. Dr. Daniel Isigrigg created a digital showcase on the IPHC’s Dr. Vinson Synan, which includes an interview.
Other archives to explore:
Apostolic Archives International
