The Athol Murray College of Notre Dame Archives/Museum in Wilcox was dedicated in 1992. The museum collects and exhibits objects and archival documents related to Father Athol Murray and the history of Athol Murray College of Notre Dame. The collection includes photographs, letters, and personal items from Father Murray, among other objects. The Rare Book Room features Murray's collection as well as other volumes, and includes 13th century manuscripts and the Nuremburg Chronicle of 1493..

In addition to these artifacts, the museum also houses many works of art, including 20 original works by Nicholas de Grandmaison and other paintings and sculptures by Saskatchewan artists. The museum also holds 16 replicas of the friezes of the Parthenon (the originals, in the British Museum, London, are known as the Elgin Marbles). The grounds of the museum feature sculptures, stained glass windows by André Rault (France), and sculptured bronze doors by Winnipeg artist Roman Kowal.
