The collection of the Good Shepherd Sisters of Quebec contains over 9,000 objects. A significant number of those artefacts are preserved in storerooms at the Generalate located in the borough of Sainte-Foy—Sillery, while many others are kept in a storage area at the Good Shepherd Museum. Numerous artefacts are still in use and displayed throughout the Congregation’s various houses.

The collection includes:

• Souvenirs of Marie-Josephte Fitzbach, Foundress of the community; George Manly Muir, the initiator of the charitable ministry; and the first collaborators
• Religious articles: silverware, sculptures, statues, holy water fonts, crucifixes, religious images, etc.
• Works by the Congregation's sisters over the decades: paintings, illuminations, drawings, ceramics, needlework, book printing and binding, etc.
• Paintings and sculptures by Quebec and foreign masters, such as Théophile Hamel, Louis-Philippe Hébert, Louis Jobin, Antoine Plamondon, John Russell and Robert J. Wickenden
• Convent furniture: dining room, dormitory, community room
  
• Educational and religious books (missals, catechisms, spiritual books, school textbooks, etc.)
• Objects commemorating the community's work in the fields of social service, education and health care.
