The George F. McNally Room is a dedicated study area for all degree program students. A study carrel is assigned to all full time students, and to part time students as space permits. The room contains a limited reference library of biblical, historical, and theological items and also provides access to recently received periodicals that focus on various aspects of ministry. Student mailboxes are located in the McNally Room, so the room becomes a centre for student use.

McMaster Divinity College is in the process of establishing for permanent display a collection of artefacts that relate to the history of the Canadian Baptist Federation, as well as showcasing objects of interest for the larger Christian community.

The Canadian Baptist Federation was the predecessor of Canadian Baptist Ministries, the umbrella organization that links together the three major Conventions of Baptists spread across Canada. This important missionary-based organization has a history that merits preservation and display in museum form. The principal artefacts of this historical collection will be housed in the Canadian Baptist Federation Collection at the Divinity College.

Additional material includes two Russian icons and related objects donated to the College. These icons reflect the artistic and religious orientation of another Christian tradition than our own, but one that is heavily steeped in history and art. The Russian icons will go on display in the museum space as a reminder not only of the beauty that can be found in iconistic painting but as a lasting memorial to this important Christian tradition.

Also included will be a small collection of ancient artefacts from Palestine dating from the Middle Bronze age (around 2100 B.C.) to the Roman period (around A.D. 100). This collection of approximately 20 items contains a number of small artefacts of interest to students of both the Old and New Testament, and was established by a grant from the W.M. Messecar Foundation. They contain a number of bowls, lamps and other glass and ceramic utensils. Their state of preservation is very high, and they represent well the typical kinds of implements used in the ancient world of their time.
